According to Cnósach Focal p157, this is mil bhitheógach but bitheóg means "microbe". This is an odd phrase. Has anyone encountered this?

I have heard it once or twice, but probably couldn't have translated or spelled it. Not sure what "bitheogach" means really though.
Microbial honey??

Definitely a bit odd. The translation honeysuckle is given in Cnósach Focal ó Bhaile Bhúirne.

Ó Dónall's dictionary has a word mill, "pendant bud or blossom" with a double l - although it is not in Dineen's dictionary. Maybe it is mill bhitheógach.
