Reply To: when happens when you kick a pebble on Shabbos

zogt_besser – Look in Rabbi Ribiat’s sefer 39 Melachos, Laws of Hotzah, where he writes explicitly that kicking a pebble 4 amos in a reshus harabbim is forbidden. Akira means uprooting it from its original place; hanacha means putting it down (i.e., the pebble stops rolling).
