Tosafot on Bava Kamma
A stringency [that applies] to the ox. The Braita is discussing the relative chumros - stringencies and kulos - leniencies of various avos. Shor is mentioned among them. But shor has three avos, keren, shain and regel. Which one is the Braita discussing?
This av of shor that the Braita is discussing is keren, as is evident from our entire Gemara.1The Braita says that bor is a muad at the outset which is not true of shor. Shain and regel are also initially muad. It is only keren that is first a tam and only later a muad.
