Commentary for Menachot 181:15

הניחא לרבי יאשיה אלא לר' יונתן למה לי סלקא דעתך אמינא אייתי נדר לחודיה ליבעי נסכים אייתי נדבה לחודיה ליבעי נסכים אייתי נדר ונדבה תיסגי בנסכים דחד קמ"ל

Now that you have established that the term 'or' was inserted for an exposition,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To indicate disjunction, namely that a burnt-offering of any one animal of the herd or of the flock requires drink-offerings.');">²⁰</span> was there any need for [the term 'or' in the expression] 'in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered or as a free will-offering' to indicat disjunction? - It was necessary, for [without 'or'] I might have thought that unless one brought an offering in fulfilment of a vow and also a freewill-offering one would not have to bring drink-offerings; we are therefore taught that if one brings an offering in fulfilment of a vow alone one must bring drink-offerings, and so, too, if one brings a freewill-offering alone one must bring drink-offerings.
