Is a breach at a corner of a courtyard (even less than ten amot wide) treated as a valid doorway, permitting normal use of the courtyard?
Synopsis
A breach occurring at the corner where two walls meet cannot be treated as a doorway because people do not normally make doorways at corners. Even if the breach is less than ten amot, the courtyard is prohibited.
