Fair enough. I did that because the grammars of Thai and English are quite different, in noun-modifier order, distinction between verbs and adjectives, and verb conjugation (those are just the relevant differences here). I could have said "blood-exiting fever" but that changes the word order.

I understand that you feel that it does, it's just that I don't see it in how you translate it word for word. Anyway, I don't speak Thai, so it's very probable that I cannot appreciate this quality even if you tried to explain it a thousand time.
