Commentary for Nedarim 6:9

הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַיַּיִן, מֻתָּר בְּיֵין תַּפּוּחִים. מִן הַשֶּׁמֶן, מֻתָּר בְּשֶׁמֶן שֻׁמְשְׁמִין. מִן הַדְּבַשׁ, מֻתָּר בִּדְבַשׁ תְּמָרִים. מִן הַחֹמֶץ, מֻתָּר בְּחֹמֶץ סִתְוָנִיּוֹת. מִן הַכְּרֵשִׁין, מֻתָּר בְּקַפְלוֹטוֹת. מִן הַיָּרָק, מֻתָּר בְּיַרְקוֹת הַשָּׂדֶה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא שֵׁם לְוָאי:

If one bevows himself from wine, he is permitted to drink apple wine; from oil, he is permitted (to ingest) sesame oil; from honey, he is permitted (to eat) date-honey; from vinegar, he is permitted (to eat) sitvaniyoth-vinegar; from leeks, he is permitted (to eat) kaflototh [a kind of leek grown in Eretz Yisrael]; from greens, he is permitted (to eat) field-greens, for it ("field") is a conjunctive term. [In "field-greens," one conjoins a word ("field") to "greens" to say "field-greens," and so with all (conjunctive expressions). But on shevi'ith, since garden-greens are not found (for they do not grow without tillage), and (only) field-greens are eaten, "greens," unqualified, on shevi'ith, as opposed to the other years, is understood as field-greens.]
