On a truly strange, and probably sick, note, I started thinking about 'heat' and Yinkin. Premature fertility, that killed the child? In other words, a ritual that went wrong, and the nasty details weren't included. Given that it's 1621, probably a desperate attempt to revive or sidestep Ernalda's missing fertility, perhaps by using Yinkini magic in a different way.
