mòthan
§ sm Common butterwort, bog violet, steep grass, earning grass (pinguicula vulgaris). On cows milk it acts like rennet — AF. 3(AC) Love philtre. The woman who gives it goes upon her left knee and plucks nine roots of the plant (butterwort) and knots them together forming them into a “cuach” or ring. It is placed on the mouth of a girl to make the man who kisses her her bondsman, under parturient women to ensure safe delivery and is carried by wayfarers to safeguard them on their journeys. If a man makes a miraculous escape, it is said of him, Dh'òl e bainne na bó bà a dh'ith am mòthan, he drank the milk of the guileless cow that ate the mòthan.
