An Irish English dialectal spelling and pronunciation of 'between', reflecting the way the word is naturally spoken in certain parts of Ireland. Like many Irish English dialect words, betune represents the phonetic reality of everyday speech rather than formal written language. You'd encounter it in dialogue, regional literature, or phonetic transcriptions of Irish vernacular. It's a small but charming example of how spoken English adapts across different cultural and geographic contexts.
There's a lot of history betune those two families, and not all of it is good.
