Issue 109: If an impure thing undergoes such changes that it assumes the category of pure things, it will be pure. For example, if an impure piece of wood burns and is reduced to ashes, or when a dog falls in a salt marsh and transforms into salt, it will be pure. But a thing will not be purified if the essence or the category does not change. For example, when impure wheat is ground into flour, or is baked as bread, it will not be pure.
Issue 110: If wine turns into vinegar spontaneously or by adding some things like salt and vinegar to it, it will be pure.
