May a korah also be placed in the middle of an alleyway, and what inner-section conditions must be met?
Synopsis
A korah may be placed in the middle of an alleyway just as a lechi may, provided the inner section has the full status of a mavoi (four-cubit minimum length, length exceeding width, houses and courtyards opening into it); otherwise, two minimal posts or one four-tefach post is required.
