FDV: "Then the prankwench went for a hundred years and she washed the scabs off the jiminy and taught him his tickles"
"Then the prankwench went for a forty years walk and she washed the scabs blessings off the jiminy and she had her four {owlers} monitors for to taught him his tickles"


And the prankquean went for her forty years' walk in Tourlemonde

fdv: 100 years

?? Grace O'Malley was said to have sailed for forty years
she lived ~70 years

why "walk" not sail?

doubtful: French Tours du Monde en Quarante Jours: Tour of the World in Forty Days (?advertised in Paris before World War I) [rare]
cf Jules Verne's 1873 'Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours' (80 days)


and she washed the blessings of the lovespots off the jiminy with soap sulliver suddles

blesser = to wound (French)

Tristopher had blessings in the form of lovespots which she washes off

'Dermot of the Love Spot' had a magic mark on his forehead, which supposedly made him irresistible to maidens, including a different Grania

longshot: scabs/spots are a symptom of syphilis (sex/love disease)

not-washing as ascetic practice? (eg Stephen Dedalus?)

Swift: Gulliver's Travels (Swift/Sterne)
Sullivans (the 12)
sully = make dirty

soapbubbles, soapsuds (baby talk)
puddles, sudden, subtle


and she had her four owlers masters for to tauch him his tickles

Saint Patrick was said to have served four masters

old
owlers: 18thC&c nighttime wool smugglers
owls

had them for to
'4 2'?

teach him (to laugh)
touch (sexually molest?)
German tauchen: to dip; to dive (eg in bathtub); Tauscher = deceiver

Tristopher must learn to laugh from the 4 masters?


and she convorted him to the onesure allgood

Latin convorto: I turn around
converted

PoA2 "that's one sure five"
PoA5 "Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not."

'the all-good' = spiritual cliche

everybody thinks their sect is the one sure all-good


and he became a luderman.

Latin ludere: to play
Irish ludramán: lazy idler, loafer
German Luder: minx, impudent young woman
longshot: Lutheran (very rare in Ireland)
alderman

how does washing off the blessings of the lovespots make him more likely laugh and play?
