And all the way (a horn!) from fjord to fjell

"all the way" refers back to his dimensions

horn (musical instruments)
"a horn!" is sad, not excited
Irish ochone! = alas! (elsewhere: ahone, Ochone!, Ocone!, O Hone!) ('alas' = fweet-35)

Norwegian fjord = bay; fjell = mountain
bay-to-mountain is uphill

his baywinds' oboboes shall wail him rockbound (hoahoahoah!)

bay winds
bay windows... in the room where he's being waked???

wind instruments, oboes (musical instruments)

Latin obeo = I go towards
Greek boes = cries, clamour

Prometheus was chained to a rock by Zeus

"(HoaHoahoath! HoaHoahoath!)" → [ho ho ho???]
"(hoahoahoath! hoahoahoath!)" →
"(hoahoahoah!)"

Howth

in swimswamswum and all the livvylong night,

"he swim, swam, swum" → "in swimswamswum"
maybe past present future??? (why "in"?)

lifelong, livelong
Anna Livia
why night?

the delldale dalppling night,

telltale
dell, dale
dappling + ALP

the night of bluerybells,

bluebells

Plurabelle [fweet-12]
blurry?
bells (musical instrument)
"of blueorofbells"?

her flittaflute in tricky trochees

"her" (the primary mourner is a lone female)
flitting
flute (musical instrument)

Italian flutti: waves

trochee: long-short metrical foot (associated with Issy)
why "tricky"?

(O carina! O carina!) wake him.

Italian o carina!: that's nice!, nice girl!

ocarina (musical instrument)
