    Muise is an interjection, which is a form of Muire. Not sure what the correct term for this kind of change is, but similar to Zounds < "Our Lords Wounds" Similarly God is not really being addressed, that is probably why d(h)ia is lowercase.

    GRMA, a Aonghuis, don mhíniú. (as an míniú?)

    Zounds like a minced oath to me.

    “Dar fia” I quite like that! Into the notes it goes! GRMA
