The meaning of やわこく in archaic dialog


Reading a novel and there's a part of a sentence that I don't quite
understand. For context, the person speaking is at a small party, being
completely drunk while speaking to this fit, sober woman.

The speaker is also imitating another person here who tends to speak
archaically and very arrogantly. Here is the whole line:

>
> 「見通す悪魔が宣言しよう。なんじ、一人シラフで呆れた顔をしている力ごぶ娘よ。アルコールは分解するのにたんぱく質を必要とするもの。今すぐお酒をたくさん飲めば、悩みのカチカチ筋肉が少しはやわこくなるであろう。」

The part that I don't understand is the last sentence,

> 悩みのカチカチ筋肉が少しはやわこくなるであろう。

There is some talk about 'stiff muscles of trouble' but that's pretty much all
I can understand. The やわこく part is especially confusing as I have no idea what
that could mean.




やわこい is a dialectal form equivalent to やわらかい. It appears to be used in [Sendai
(仙台)
dialect,](http://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%82%84%E3%82%8F%E3%81%93%E3%81%84)
but easily comprehensible even to a Standard Japanese speaker.

Thus, やわこく = やわらかく.

> 悩みのカチカチ筋肉が少しはやわこくなるであろう。  
>  = 悩みのカチカチ筋肉が少しはやわらかくなるであろう。  
>  _Thy stiff muscle that botherth thee shall be a bit loosened._
