Commentary for Avodah Zarah 85:4
אמר אביי אין רישא וסיפא במוצא ומציעתא בעושה
Abaye said: That is so, the first and last clauses deal with the act of finding and the middle clause with the act of making.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Abaye is indeed willing to interpret the baraita such that each clause deals with a different aspect.
