So the Gemara says, "Leima kasavar," shall we say that he holds mitanefes ein chozeres v'yoledes b'tech shanasah.

Shall we say that the Tanna of the Braisa holds that a behema that is, um, mitanefes, that she has, uh, blood coming out of the womb, cannot give birth during a year after the tinuf.

And the same thing is true that she cannot give birth for a year after giving regular birth because birth is like a tinuf.

So the Gemara, im timtzu leimar mitanefes v'chozeres v'yoledes b'tech shanasah.

Even if you're going to say that a behema that does mitanefes still can give birth within the year, that means she had a-- not a real baby, but, uh, it, um, just had the signs of a baby.

Um, and even if you say that she could have it within the year, but nevertheless, yoledes, vadai ein chozeres v'yoledes b'tech shanasah.

But if she gave full regular birth, then she cannot give birth within the year.

So since we're talking about over here, about the goat that gave birth in that year, so therefore the Tanna does not say that she herself gave birth an additional daughter in that year because she can't give birth in that year.

So that's the answer why it says-- it doesn't say he has to say three, three, three versus two because we cannot s-talk about a situation in where she had two babies because she can't give birth to a second baby.
