Now I’ve checked it again carefully:
“ez” would be possible, but this results in two possible spellings:
af = auf
“so nim ez auf mich” — so take it upon me (a person taking on someone else’s affliction) — consistent with High German and Bavarian, but typologically the rarer type of blessing.
af = von
“so nim ez von mich” — “so take it from me” (transferring the affliction away from the sick person) — by far the more common formula type in healing blessings, but with a construction that points to the Middle Low German language area.
(“mich” would be ok im MND)
“Poxleber,” however, is Bavarian...
