synopsis: the book itself — a hoard of alphabets, snakes, etc.


FDV: "Stoop, what curios of signs, (stoop)," →
"Stoop, if you are abcedminded, {to this claybook,} what curios of signs, (please stoop) in this allaphbed,"




MUTT: Ore you astoneaged, jute you?

Norwegian øre: ear (ear/eye)
iron ore, Iron Age

are you astonished
Stone Age

you Jute
damn you?


JUTE: Oye am thonthorstrok, thing mud!

Norwegian øye: eye
oy

I am thunderstruck
Thon, once worshipped in England, may be Thor
Thor, the Norse god of thunder, was patron of the Scandinavian Thing
maybe? Old Norse Ragnarøkr: destruction of the Norse gods
stroke

Thingmote
person made from mud


the transition here is an abrupt shift in tone:

(Stoop), if you are abcedminded, to this claybook,

stoop = lower yourself
Stop Please Stop 

fw1 no comma after parenthesis (so is fw2 just taking editorial license here?)

VI.B15.159: 'abced'
Old English abecede: alphabet
absent-minded
literal-minded
literate
inclined to alphabetise (cf OCD)

VI.B15.156: 'claybook' Clodd: The Story of the Alphabet  89: (of cuneiform writing) 'abundant clay... Upon this the characters were impressed by a reed... the clay-books being afterwards baked or sun-dried'
(clay = mud = shit)

romans à clef (pronounced 'clay') = novels about real people under the guise of fiction (literally French 'novels with a key') but did Joyce accept this description of his works? this may be the closest he comes to even mentioning the phrase


what curios of signs (please stoop) in this allaphbed!

curio = collectable artifact
Greek kurios: lord

"curios of signs" (the signs are separate from and precede the artifacts/curios?)

VI.B15.159: 'alaphbet' Story of the Alphabet 122: 'the very word ALPHABET... is obviously derived from the names of the two letters alpha and beta... which are plainly identical with the names aleph and beth borne by the corresponding Semitic characters'
cf U68: "He crossed Townsend street, passed the frowning face of Bethel. El, yes: house of: Aleph, Beth."

bed (part of printing press)
riverbed


Can you rede (since We and Thou had it out already) its world?

German reden: to speak
read

Lane-Poole, The Speeches & Table-Talk of the Prophet Mohammad xl: 'the "we" (God), and "thou" (Mohammad), and "ye" (the audience), of the Koran'
so: can you readers read its word, since God and Mohammed (Joyce??) already have?

"had it out" = discussed it
worked out its meaning

cf above "He who runes may rede it"

word


It is the some told of all.

same (fw1 had "same")
sum
song?
some/all

Many. Miscegenations on miscegenations.

OT Daniel 6:25-28: 'MENE, MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN' (writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast, dubiously translated as 'numbered/finite, numbered, weighed/judged, divided/broken-up')
"Many... Tieckle... Forsin"

'generations on generations' (phrase)
mixing races? how is this numbered/finite?


Tieckle. They lived und laughed and loved end left.

Ludwig Tieck: German romantic novelist [fweet-1]
tickle

Viconian cycle? live-laugh-love-leave/ gods-heroes-men-chaos/ birth-marriage-death-rebirth

German und: and
"und... and... end" and, and, and

these are very positive verbs; if someone is being weighed/judged it sounds like a positive judgment?


Forsin. Thy thingdome is given to the Meades and Porsons.

Daniel translated 'upharsin' as 'divided' meaning 'thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians'

Latin forsan: perhaps
Norwegian forsyn: providence

sin

kingdom
Thingmote 

is Meades/Porsons somehow Shaun/Shem?

U-Cyclops "The work of salvage, removal of débris, human remains etc has been entrusted to Messrs Michael Meade and Son, 159 Great Brunswick Street" of Meade's timberyard (U-LotusEaters)

Richard Porson, obscure Greek expert


The meandertale, aloss and again, of our old Heidenburgh

meander (from the Meander river in Greece, noted for its winding course)
Neanderthal Man

meandering tale
Latin talis: ending

German Heiden: heathen
Heidelberg Man (Old Stone Age)

Edinburgh


in the days when Head-in-Clouds walked the earth.

H-Ce

after enlightenment, Buddha walked the world (doesn't everybody?)
