#muin

this might be specific, but do you know of any terms for having multiple genders, but unable to identify the genders, even though its clear there are multiple?

Obscurity and confusion would appear to be at the fore for Muin in a reading, then. Not only is the meaning of the letter-name difficult to discern, but the gloss from one of Mac Ind Óc’s copies of the Bríatharogam would hint at camouflage and thickets, which — combined with our ‘variegated’ colour here — only serves to reinforce this whole feel. It may also be worth noting here that the dathogam itself gives the colour as mbracht (not simply brecht); a cosmetic initial m- has been added (cosmetic in the sense that it’s linguistically unnecessary here) so it will fit the letter, and this initial m- results in the sound of the ‘b’ in brecht being silenced (or obscured, as one might say…). The potential for confusion between brecht and bricht would also reinforce this sense of confusion and obscurity, but it might also suggest a magical (if not a spiritual?) undercurrent, too."
