what does Thanum an Dhul mean?

I was listening to "Finnegan's Wake" (one of my favorite songs), and I was curious about the last line: "Whirl your whiskey 'round like blazes, Thanum an Dhul! Do you think I'm dead?" Could someone explain what "Thanum an Dhul" means? Thank you!

Its "d'anam don diabhal"

Its just sounds like "Thanum an Dhul"

"d'anam an diahbal" means "your soul to the devil"

Its a curse a bit like "damn you"
