Core Text
עד אם כלו. הֲרֵי אִם מְשַׁמֵּשׁ בִּלְשׁוֹן אֲשֶׁר, אִם כִּלּוּ דַי סִפּוּקוֹן, שֶׁזּוֹ הִיא גְּמַר שְׁתִיָּתָן, כְּשֶׁשָּׁתוּ דֵּי סִפּוּקָן:

English: Here “im” functions in the sense of “that”: until they have finished drinking their fill—that is the completion of their drinking, when they have drunk enough.

On the daf / in context: Rivkah volunteers the second half of the test unasked; the midrash notes the precise sense of the clause “until they finish.”

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Rashi) — not a formal named middah of the 13: the particle is fixed by parallel usage, and the offer itself completes the sign.

What Is Learned

Rivkah offers of her own accord to draw for the camels until they have drunk their fill; the second half of Eliezer’s sign is fulfilled by her initiative.
