Rabbi Simon cited Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: He makes a loose {thus large} handbreadth and places it less than 3 handbreadths close to the wall. {Thus, lavud will be in effect, halachicaly closing the area, and we will have a wall of 4 handbreadths.}
Rav Yehuda said: A succah which is constructed like an alleyway is valid.
