Commentary:

that place
(Gur Aryeh; cf. Yad, Yibbum 4:2). Or, 'That family shall be known ... as, 'the family of the one whose shoe was removed.' ' (Abarbanel). Or, 'That man's name shall be known as, 'the family man whose shoe was removed.' ' (Paaneach Razah). Some say, 'Let the name ...' making it part of the woman's statement (Abarbanel; Yad, Yibbum 4:7; cf. Yevamoth 106b).

with his brother
So that there is no deadly intent. See next note this verse 'private parts'.

private parts
Testicles (Ibn Ezra). The same is true if she does any act that might endanger the man's life.
