"Now, that-redness-which-customarily-emerges-with-medicine, because
you customarily grow, they have made you [a medicine].
Therefore, you will be good everywhere.

(5.93) Linguistic Notes
'izeiłhanágachíń 'that redness which customarily emerges with medicine'. hanágachí, iter. of ha-go-...[hi- perf.]-chí 'redness emerges, comes out' [act. intr.]. ha- 'out'; go- place subject [?]. I do not know why go- becomes ga- in the text form; perhaps by vocalic infection from the preceding prefixes?
