Mesorat%20hashas for Menachot 39:9

ואין לי אלא קומץ (מנחה) מנין לרבות את הלבונה מרבה אני את הלבונה שכן באה עמה בכלי אחד

But I can argue: as the meal-offering is distinguished in that it renders something permissible,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The burning of the handful renders the remainder of the meal-offering permitted to be eaten; likewise the sprinkling of the blood renders the sacrifice permissible, i.e., the sacrificial portions to be burnt and the flesh to be eaten. The result of this argument would be that the blood would require salting since it is similar to the meal-offering in one respect (vis., it renders permissible) , and all other offerings would require salting since ht they, too, are similar to the meal-offering in another respect (viz., for each wood is requisite) , and only the wood is excluded. V. Rashi s.v. .');">¹¹</span> so everything which renders something permissible [must be seasoned with salt]; I would thus include the blood since it renders something permissible!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The burning of the handful renders the remainder of the meal-offering permitted to be eaten; likewise the sprinkling of the blood renders the sacrifice permissible, i.e., the sacrificial portions to be burnt and the flesh to be eaten.
