talmud gemara - Is every mishna mentioned in the Bavli?


On a previous question that I asked, one correspondent pointed out the existence of a Mishnaic index, which lists every page of the early rabbinic literature on which there is a reference (or allusion) to each individual mishna. I would like to know if in the course of discussing individual mishnayot, the Bavli ends up referencing every single mishna altogether, or if some go totally unmentioned. Would a person who learns Mishna only through Shas Bavli still end up encountering the entire text?



Answer



Not every Mishna is mentioned in the Bavli. As a counterexample (selected at random) the opening phrase of Keilim 14:3 does not appear in the Bavli.
