Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud asks whether certain other formulae are also valid. Many of these words are taken from the stories of Adam and Eve or from elsewhere in the Bible. I will list the references here:
מיוחדת—Genesis 2:24
מיועדת—Exodus 21:8-9
עזרתי, נגדתי—Genesis 2:18
עצורתי—Unclear, some say this is from I Samuel 21:6, but Rashi disagrees.
צלעתי, סגורתי—Genesis 2:21
תפושתי—Deuteronomy 22:28
The only of these that we know is valid is “taken by me” because the verse explicitly uses the language “takes a wife.”
