It's meaning in English would depend on the context it was said to you in.
Word for word it means
aon = one
focal = word
eile = other
It means "one other word?"
It doesn't really make sense though and I'm guessing that whoever wrote it meant to to write Éin focal eile? which means - Any other word? or Éin focail eile? which means any other words.
Éin and aon sound very similar in Irish, maybe that's why there's the confusion.
Best of luck

It basically means "any other word(s)?"
"Aon" is any, "focal" translates as word (with "focail" being the plural) and "eile" means other.
edit: Heres an online dictionary: "focal.ie"

Been taught for over a decade now to speak it.

Aon - any
Focal - word(s)
eile - other
aon focal eile? = any other word(s)?
