My Finnish is rather poor, but I know this word from labels in Finland. The
correct spelling is "myrkylinnen". My children, who are semi-Finnish (their
mother and my former wife is from Finland) confirmed to me that it means
"poisonous". ("Giftig" pa svenska und in Deutsch......)

Best wishes - terveisiae!
