Commentary for Kiddushin 36:5
אמר רב נחמן בר יצחק הכא בקידושין דעלמא קאי וה"ק כיון שמסרה אביה למי שנתחייב בשארה כסותה ועונתה שוב אין יכול למוכרה
But if you say, it effects nissu'in, once she was married,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., with nissu'in.');"><sup>9</sup></span> her father has no more authority over her. Hence we may surely infer that it effects erusin.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Nahman b. Yitzchak interprets the verse such that it does not refer to the father selling her daughter, but rather regular betrothal. Once a father betroths his daughter, he may no longer sell her. This leaves us without any answer as to whether designation effects betrothal or marriage.
