"Those who were colored with jaundice as if with gold."[2]
They say that there is a yellow-colored condition aroused by anger so as to make the eyes of the victims yellow and black, like [the eyes] of kites, from which it gets its name.[3]
[Note] that those suffering from jaundice are easily changed to a bird when they look at a curlew. See under xaradrio/s.[4]
