「巫医」

Hesuri utar restores the recorded people/plural element ウタレ. Batchelor and Hattori document hesuri for a priest or monk; Batchelor also records a bald-headed person. These meanings do not by themselves establish the source’s 巫医 role. Recorded ヘシル is closer to hesiru or hesir than hesuri, so the order of the final sounds remains uncertain. Neither the proposed full phrase nor those literal alternatives has a corpus match here.
