Core Text

בְּפִקָּדוֹן — פִּקָּדוֹן שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ מַמָּשׁ; יָצָא קַרְקַע.

“In a deposit” — a deposit that has substance; land is excluded.

In the sugya: The word “pikadon” is limited to movable property of tangible substance. Real estate falls outside this asham structure.

Miyut of tangible movables — land is excluded.

False oath about real estate does not generate this asham. Land is not subject to the same shevuah structure that governs movable deposits.
