      I'm not sure, but it looks like a local (dialectal) variant or simply a misspelling of one of the Pres. Ind. forms of the OE verb beon (with a macron over the letter "e") = to be. If this is the case, then "beith" may be in fact either "bith" (he bith = he is) or "beoth" /with a macron over "e"/ - (we/ge/hie beoth = we/you/they are). Unfortunately, I'm not an expert so I may well be wrong. Any opinions from those with more expertise will be welcome.
