Eruvin (Hebrew: עֵרוּבִין, lit. "Mixtures") is the second tractate in the Order of Moed in the Talmud, dealing with the various types of eruv. In this sense this tractate is a natural extension of Shabbat; at one point these tractates were likely joined but then split due to length.[1]

The Ra'ya Mehemna (14th century) introduced ענ״י as an acronym for "Eruvin, Niddah, and Yevamot".[2] According to Jacob Emden, עני destitute is a pun which references the reputed difficulty of these tractates, and the acronym serves to warn off students.[3] Eliezer Sofer uses it for "Eruvin, Nazir, Yevamot", arguing that Nazir is more difficult, and some also use "Eruvin, Nedarim, Yevamot".[4]
