    Hi Mrsmum. I can't find 'sceitimímí' anywhere else. I found this for overjoyed: https://www.focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/overjoyed

    Another word I love is - meas, meaning respect. It used to be used all the time, at least where I'm originally from, as part of an English sentence eg you'd have great meas in something but I never hear it said like that or at all where I live now ie Dublin.
