According to Wikipedia, "the word muti is derived from the Zulu word for tree, of which the root is -thi." It also says that "this noun is of the umu / imi class, consequently the singular (tree) is rendered Umuthi and plural (trees) is Imithi. Since the pronunciation of the initial vowel of this umu / imi class of Zulu noun, is unstressed, the singular Umuthi is sometimes heard as 'Muthi'. The word is rendered as muti due to the historical effects of British Colonial spelling."

contemporary isizulu uses the months as below. (the hyphenation is important when the u is followed by a vowel).

On youtube in a very bad quality

There is a version on Youtube. However, the version posted there is very poor. The episodes are confusingly numbered, and some parts are even missing.

Bit of a vague question, but anyway.
"Miss" could be a unmarried female,
"miss" could be "not to hit", like in a miss is as good as a mile
"mis" could be the Afrikaans word for dung.
"mis" could be the Afrikaans word for "miss", like in "I will miss you when you are gone ( Ek sal jou mis as jy weg is)"
