==Significance== Grandsons of the [[Dagda]], Miach and his brother Oirmiach are hypothesized to be the vestiges of the Celtic [[Divine Twins]].<ref name="Gricourt">{{cite journal |last1=Gricourt |first1=Daniel |title=Le membre greffé, l’eau et les herbes guérisseusesDu dioscurisme indo-européen aux saints jumeaux À propos de Raven et Rasyphe |journal=Nouvelle mythologie comparée |date=2018 |issue=4 |url=http://etudesindoeuropeennes.fr/articleContent/263 |access-date=22 August 2020}}</ref> The alliterative names are a hallmark of twinning, indicating that the two brothers were in origin twins. They are the physicians of the Tuatha De Danann and upon arriving at Nuadu's court are described as "handsome, young, and of good stature;" beauty is one of the signatures of twin gods of the third function.<ref name="Gricourt"/> When Miach (or in alternative accounts both Miach and Oirmiach) is killed by his father Dian Cecht, 365 herbs grow from his grave - the same number of days in a solar year, which may signify totality. Finally, Miach's healing of Nuadu's arm takes thrice nine days or 27 days total - the same as a lunar month.
