Talmud for Temurah 5:3
הָאוֹמֵר, וְלָדָהּ שֶׁל זוֹ עוֹלָה וְהִיא שְׁלָמִים, דְּבָרָיו קַיָּמִים. הִיא שְׁלָמִים וּוְלָדָהּ עוֹלָה, הֲרֵי זוֹ וְלַד שְׁלָמִים, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, אִם לְכֵן נִתְכַּוֵּן מִתְּחִלָּה, הוֹאִיל וְאִי אֶפְשָׁר לִקְרוֹת שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת כְּאַחַת, דְּבָרָיו קַיָּמִים. וְאִם מִשֶּׁאָמַר הֲרֵי זוֹ שְׁלָמִים, נִמְלַךְ וְאָמַר וְלָדָהּ עוֹלָה, הֲרֵי זוֹ וְלַד שְׁלָמִים:
If one says, "This animal's fetus is an <i>Olah</i>, and [the animal] is a <i>Shelamim</i>," - his words stand; "[This animal] is a <i>Shelamim</i>, and its fetus is an <i>Olah</i>," the fetus is a <i>Shelamim</i> - [these are] the words of Rabbi Meir; Rabbi Yosi says: If this is what he originally intended [that the fetus would be an <i>Olah</i>], then, since it is [physically] impossible to pronounce two names at one time, his words stand; if, when he said "this is a <i>Shelamim</i>," he then changed his mind and said [i.e., added], "the fetus is an <i>Olah</i>," then the fetus is a <i>Shelamim</i>.
