Commentary for Nedarim 143:1-144:99:3
אלא מהא ליכא למשמע מיניה אי רישא דוקא נסיב סיפא משום רישא אי סיפא דוקא נסיב רישא משום סיפא
But if you maintain that divorce [too] is as confirmation, let him also state, 'or if he heard it and divorced her.' But since this is omitted, it proves that divorce is tantamount to silence! Hence no deductions can be made from this; if the first clause is exact, the second clause is stated [in that form] on account of the first; if the second is exact, the first is so taught on account of the second.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., one clause must have been taught with exactitude, and the omission of divorce is intentional; but the other has been stated inexactly, for though divorce could have been included therein, it was omitted for the sake of parallelism.
