Re: Bhuitis
Looks like a form of the word "to be"...sort of. Give me some time and I think I can get you a translation.

Re: Bhuitis
Is this part of the title or is it the whole title or is it part of a refrain?

According to the notes of Michael Rooney, it means "boots/leggins."

Re: Bhuitis
Could someone direct me to the lyrics of this song? I'd like to see this word used in context.

It's an infection suffered by ghosts which prevents them from saying "Boo!"
