Cutting Nails When Yom Tov Falls on Sunday

Yom Tov on Sunday

11. Based on the reason of resembling melacha (5), it would seem that when Yom Tov falls on Sunday, one may not cut his nails on Friday either, as they will start regrowing on Yom Tov, unless we say that one may be more meikel on Yom Tov since it is just a grama. According to the reasons of kevod Shabbos, one may cut his nails on Friday since that is a fulfillment of kevod Shabbos. In practice, the poskim hold one may cut his nails on erev Shabbos in this case (מו''ר בשו''ת שבט הקהתי ח''א סי' קה ).
