Commentary for Nedarim 104:14

אמר רבא וכבר יצא מהן:

— There is no question about 'these': that is certainly essential.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., it is certain that 'these' alone extends the vow as indicated. ');">¹¹</span> The problem is with respect to 'that I taste not': is that essential or not?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Is that phrase alone sufficient to extend its scope? ');">¹²</span> — Come and hear: ['Konam that I taste not fish or fishes'], he is forbidden [to eat] them, both large and small, salted and unsalted, raw and cooked. Yet he may eat hashed terith and brine!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Brine is the juice that issues from the fish, yet it is permitted, though he said, 'that I taste not'. This proves that that alone is insufficient. ');">¹³</span> — Raba said: Providing it [the brine] had already issued from them [before the vow].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But the brine which issues thereafter may be forbidden: hence the problem remains. ');">¹⁴</span>
