"and though, for rings round them during a hundred thousand yeargangs, the Formoreans have brittled the Tooath of the Danes and the Oxman has been pestered by the Firebugs & the Joynts have thrown up wallmaking"

"...and while around them the cities have changed masters and names, while some have ceased to exist, while the civilizations have collided with each other and smashed..."



and, though for rings round them, during a chiliad of perihelygangs,

German rings 'rum: all around
Joyce re above: "ringsome = German ringsum, around" ("rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface")

FDV: "during a hundred thousand yeargangs"

chiliad: a thousand; a millennium

perihelion: a point when nearest to the sun
around-sun-goings, ie, years

loongshot, fweet-1: Edmond Sexton Pery and John Hely-Hutchinson: prominent contemporaneous 18thC Irish members of Parliament (both seen, perhaps unjustly, as opportunistic and corrupt)

gangs, goings [fweet-72] [etym]
German Gang: walk, gait
cf 'oxgang'


the Formoreans have brittled the tooath of the Danes

for more
Fomorians and Tuatha Dé Danaan: legendary antagonistic Irish colonisers [wakepd] 'tuatha' = 'tribes of'

battled

brittle teeth

cf EQ?? "some have ceased to exist"


and the Oxman has been pestered by the Firebugs

'Oxman': Viking (as in Oxmantown, part of North Dublin)

why "pestered"? EQ "the civilizations have collided with each other"

slang firebug: arsonist


and the Joynts have thrown up jerrybuilding to the Kevanses

giants
joints (never persons? fweet-29) could this be T = [ + Ʌ (joined)?
joy, Joyce

FDV: "given up wallmaking"

jerrybuilt = thrown together sloppily ('thrown up')

Jerry/Kevin (Jerry, short for Jeremiah, is a cognate of Irish Diarmaid; Kevin is a cognate of Greek Eugenios)

why not just 'Kevans'?
isn't the dual here Joynt/Kevans, not jerry/Kevan?
/[ - [ = Ʌ
