ihcequi doing it=?windows-1252?Q?=92s_?=applicative thing

[SASAKI Mitsuya]

Piyali Jonathan,

The example of "ihcequi" John presented from FC11 is used as an 
intransitive, though it looks like an anticausative verb, i.e. "to be 
toasted".
Here "ihcequi" is juxtaposed with "mone:loa" (to be mixed) and "moteci" 
(to be ground). "Ihcequi" here is undoubtedly intransitive, but its 
subject seems to be the thing roasted, but not the one who roast it.

The original text is:

  auh injc muchichioa in icequi, yoan moneloa chia~tzotzol: nima~ 
moteci: conj in cocoxquj.
(A&D's Translation: "And it is prepared thus: when roasted and mixed 
with wrinkled _chia_, then  it is ground. The sick one drinks it [in an 
infusion]") (FC 11, A&D p. 142)
