Commentary for Kiddushin 32:12
מאי לאו הא דנפקא בסימנים והא דנפקא לה במיתת אב
But if this be correct, the father's death too should be taught. And should you answer: He teaches and leaves over-but he states 'the following'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which indicates only those.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud tries to resolve the two baraitot and at the same time revive Resh Lakish’s rule that she goes free at her father’s death. The first baraita, according to which she receives the gift, refers to a case where she went free by her father’s death. Her father cannot receive it because he is no longer alive. The second baraita, where her father receives the gift, refers to a case where she went free by “signs.” This explanation would accord with Resh Lakish.
