observanteen: Could you provide a source for this. On the one hand it makes intuitive sense, but on the other hand, since there is a specific minimum time one need to be miyacheid in order to be over the issur, there is a good reason to think one is only over for each relevant time frame (3 min./5 min./7 mi./9 min., whatever opinion one adopts). Compare to the issur of achilas sheretz for example: If one grabs a handful of ants and begins to eat, he is liable for each kizayis/whole ant (depending on whether the ants are whole or crushed). If I were to eat 1.9 kizaysim, I would still only be liable once (min hatorah, at least). If I am miyached for 1.9 periods of time, then, why should I be liable for more than one issur? There are good distinctions to be made here, just wondering if you have a source.
