Summary

Mishna: A sukkah made (of schach) like a wigwam or a lean-to;

Rabbi Eliezer disqualifies it since it does not have a roof.

The Chachomim permit it (because part of the slope - until 10 tefachim above ground - serves as a wall, and part of it serves as a roof).

Gemara:

Beraisa: Rabbi Eliezer agrees that if the wigwam is raised a tefach above the ground; or if the lean-to finishes a tefach away from the wall, that it’s kosher. (Since a tefach makes an ohel, it is considered significant enough to make a wall or a roof. According to Tosfos 2 tefachim are necessary, one to indicate a wall, and one to indicate a roof. According to Rashi, airspace is considered a tefach, because of lavud, but according to Tosfos the tefach must be an object such as a block).
