I would appreciate your help with this conjugation. I cant find “áirmhídh” in any reference . Can anyone identify this form of the verb?

I’m reading “An Odaisé” in Munster Irish (aistritheoir: Monsignor Pádraig de Brún) and in English (translator: Robert Fitzgerald).

The context is the following:
“Áirmhídh muintir an tsaoil seo ba mhó a fuair leanta, go bhfios daoibh, ní mo a gcreach na mo chreachsa, do raghainn i gcomórtas ar bhrón leo. “
Book VII

I take this to mean:

“Count me among the most long suffering people living…..” so wouldn’t that be the second person imperative?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I guess "áirmhídh" is the imperative 2pl of "áirigh/áirimh", to count, in Munster Irish. It is "áirígí" in standard Irish.
