In learning Japanese, I ran across this statement about honorifics:

Most require o(お), some require go (ご), and a few require mi (み).

I've found a couple of words that require go, such as ご説明 (explanation.)
What are some words that require みas an honorific? I tried searching around but could only find a list of words that require ご as the honorific.

み（御） is used to express awe for gods, emperor, nobles. As it is rather old usage, words are rather limited.
神の御心（みこころ）
御霊（みたま）
御子（みこ）
御姿（みすがた）

Words _starting_ with 御(み) from WWWJDIC. Unfortunately it's too difficult to check for 御(み) in other positions within a word.
