Can you guess what word Suzuki is saying?

In the SFZC board notes for 69-07-15 where they're talking about tangaryo, the day or days of non-stop zazen one has to do before being a student, in this case at Tassajara, we can't figure out what word Shunryu Suzuki is saying on line 15 below: "Perhaps we need a ??? in summer." Can you help us?
