"mílchú" meaning in Old Irish

See mílchú in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From míl (“animal”) + cú (“dog, hound”). The term was originally *míluch (as evidenced by the related hypocoristic personal name Míliuc) but the nominative singular was reformed by analogy with the simplex cú.
