75 years of Finnegans Wake scholarship have successfully identified most of the meanings of most of the words in FW-- scholarship now mostly searchable at fweet.org.
Since Joyce's stated intent was "a history of the world" we should expect an encyclopedia's worth of allusions to most all the major events of that history, but reflecting Joyce's idiosyncratic analysis of which events were most important to him.
Most especially, Irish history gets a singular emphasis, with all other events measured against their Irish echoes.
Using Fweet, it's now practical to pick any topic, search for all allusions, and compose a brief overview of that topic through Joyce's Wakean eyes, illustrated with his quotes (currently following Fweet in using the standard pagination, with most pagenumbers linked to the Fweet page).
So this Annotated-FW edition will progress in two parallel streams: line-by-line but also major-topic by major-topic.
('Wakepedia' has 4 syllables like Wikipedia (or should it be Wækepædia?))
We can expect all the major topics to be introduced in the early pages, with increasingly-minor sub-topics being addressed later.
(It remains to be seen how these topic pages should be indexed. For now, use Blogger's 'archive' menu in the righthand margin-- those dates are all fictitious.)
Articles will progress thru various stages of completion, from empty placeholders, to simple fweet-links, to unsorted fweet-text dumps, to sorted and cleaned up fweet-dumps... (A lot of this can be done pretty mindlessly during otherwise wasted time.)
So far:

"I can justify every line of my book"
i wrote above that we've achieved "most of the meanings of most of the words in FW" but i think that may be too kind...
if joyce could justify every line, every word, every character and punctuationmark, we can't aim any lower... so finding a meaning (or two or three or four) that accounts for most of the letters in a passage isn't nearly enough-- we need to account for every letter.
so if there's a word like "pftjschute" and we've only got a good match for 'chute', i'll try to state this explicitly like 'why PFTJSchute?'
and this means that 'most of the letters of most of the words' could still leave ~one word/meaning for each missing letter.

[FW title song in FW]
as the title "Ulysses" declares the underlying parallel to Homer's Odyssey, so "Finnegans Wake" defiantly promises a parallel to this comic, stage-Irish ballad. removing the apostrophe adds the pun of Finnegans awakening (add a comma and they're being called to awaken, cf 383.10 "Fowls, up!"). the name 'Finnegan' itself puns on Finn-again, where Finn is an ancient Irish hero.
almost every line of the song is echoed somewhere in the text.
Tim Finigan's Wake (1867) by John F. Poole as sung by Tony Pastor [origins]
Air: The French Musician [abc notation]
Ireland's 1901 census confirms 'Finnegan' as the most common spelling of the surname:
(3936 Finn)
2157 Finnegan
1283 Finegan
519 Finnigan
152 Finigan
25 Finnagan
1 Finagan
Joyce's punning versions of the song/book title:
006.14-.15 "Fillagain's chrissormiss wake"
358.22-.23 "at Fenegans Wick"
453.03 "primmafore's wake"
537.34 "aich Fanagan's Weck"

390.13 "Tom Tim Tarpey, the Welshman"
598.27 "Tim!"
622.07 "Uncle Tim's Caubeen"
alternate versions' spellings of the street: Wattling, Walken, Walkin, Walkin', Walker, Rankin
probably coincidentally, there's a Watling street next to the Guinness brewery in Dublin [1909 map] visited by Tom Kernan in episode ten p231 "Mr Kernan turned and walked down the slope of Watling street by the corner of Guinness's visitors' waitingroom."
Joyce's versions:
024.20 "Waddlings Raid"
042.26 "wayfared via Watling"

Or 'neat and sweet'
Joyce's version:

And to rise in the world he carried the hod.
Joyce's cycle of rising and falling often refers to its hero as a builder
Joyce's versions:
005.03 "with larrons o'toolers clittering up"
589.17 "Humbly to fall and cheaply to rise"
hod for carrying bricks
Joyce's versions:

To send him on his way

whiskey (from 'creature'?)
sometimes "drop of the craythur" gets its own quotes, like an idiom (is that apostrophe just a typo?)
Joyce's versions:
004.29 "ugged the little craythur"
315.02 "he daddle a drop of the cradler"
410.10 "thinking of the crater"

"Whack row de dow" was the original singer's favorite
Joyce's versions:

607.15-.16 "tear a round and tease their partners lovesoftfun at Finnegan's Wake" (spelled right for once, almost at the end)
One morning Tim was rather full,
got/felt/was feelin'
Joyce's versions:
006.07-.09 "wan warning Phill filt tippling full. His howd feeled heavy, his hoddit did shake"
His head felt heavy, which made him shake;
Joyce's versions:
006.08 "His howd feeled heavy, his hoddit did shake"
139.09 "stutters fore he falls"
shake = stutter
He fell from the ladder and broke his skull,

So they carried him home his corpse to wake.
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet,

upon/all on
Joyce's versions:
006.26-.27 "They laid him brawdawn alanglast bed. With a bockalips of finisky fore his feet. And a barrowload of guenesis hoer his head."
With fourteen candles round his feet,
The earliest versions had candles, the later ones alcohol, but there's no hint Joyce ever heard the candles-variant (though Joyce's first published story opens with a mention of the Irish Catholic candles-tradition)
And a couple of dozen around his head!
Whack, hurrah, etc.
His friends assembled at his wake,
Here including at least: Missus Finigan, Miss Biddy O'Brien, Judy Magee, Peggy O'Connor, Mickey Mulvaney (mostly women!)
or Mrs Finnegan, Widow Malone, Biddy O'Brian, Paddy McGee, Maggie O'Connor (any generic Irish-sounding name will apparently do)
Missus Finigan called out for the lunch;
(wife... or maybe mother?)
First they laid in tay and cake,
they/she
brought in
or 'gave them'
tea
460.32 "do be careful teacakes"
ALP's letter mentions a present of cakes [fweet-13]
Then pipes and tobaccy, and whiskey-punch.

or: Then Widow Malone began to cry [a 2nd widow?]
or bawl
"Sich a purty corpse did you ever see?
Arrah! Tim avourneen, an' why did ye die?"--
or Arrah/ Yerrah/ Ay, Tim avourneen...(= darling) ♬
emphasis on 2nd syllable: uhVOREneen
Joyce's versions:
006.13 "Macool, Macool, orra whyi deed ye diie?"
"Och, none o' yer gab!" says Judy Magee.
or Arrah, hold...
Paddy [fweet]
Will ye hold your gob?
Whack, hurrah, etc.
Then Peggy O'Connor took up the job:
or Maggie
In Joyce's version, Isolde and her dark mirror-twin are called the Maggies [McHugh]
or 'the mean' or 'the moan'
"Arrah, Biddy," says she, "ye're wrong, I'm sure."
(wrong that the corpse is pretty???)
But Judy then gave her a belt on the gob,
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob
453.02-.05 "let ye create no scenes in my poor primmafore's wake. I don't want yous to be billowfighting your biddy moriarty duels, gobble gabble, over me till you spit stout"

or splattered
139.08 "blows whiskery around his summit" ?
Bedad, he revives! see how he raises!
or Tim revives
Or 'Bedad/ By God/ Och! he revives'
Or 'The corpse revives'
See how he rises
The 1845 inspiration says "when the whiskey bottle was uncorked he couldn't stand it any longer So he riz right up in bed"
for Joyce, this was an awakening at a wake, symbolising the cycle of life-death-rebirth
And Timothy, jumping from the bed,
the name 'Timothy' is almost absent from FW [fweet]
258.35 "Pray-your-Prayers Timothy"
274.11 "as repreaches Timothy"

499.17-.18 "your saouls to the dhaoul, do ye. Finnk. Fime. Fudd?"
Whack, hurrah, etc.

511.23 "'Twas womans' too woman with mans' throw man."
Shillalah-law was all the rage,
shillelagh law
or 'did all engage'
Joyce's versions:
176.20-.21 "the grand germogall allstar bout was harrily the rage"
511.15 "she laylylaw was all their rage"
And a bloody ruction now began.
a ruckus (ruction)
080.16 "when ructions ended"
Whack, hurrah, etc.
Mickey Mulvaney raised his head,
or Mickey Maloney
Joyce's version:
331.12 "Tommy Melooney"
or ducked
When a gallon of whiskey flew at him;
or noggin or naggin:
or Jameson
It missed him, and, hopping on the bed,
Or 'He ducked'
or falling or 'landing'
The liquor scattered over Tim!
or splattered
139.08 "blows whiskery around his summit" ?
Bedad, he revives! see how he raises!
or Tim revives
Or 'Bedad/ By God/ Och! he revives'
Or 'The corpse revives'
See how he rises
The 1845 inspiration says "when the whiskey bottle was uncorked he couldn't stand it any longer So he riz right up in bed"
for Joyce, this was an awakening at a wake, symbolising the cycle of life-death-rebirth
And Timothy, jumping from the bed,
the name 'Timothy' is almost absent from FW [fweet]
258.35 "Pray-your-Prayers Timothy"
274.11 "as repreaches Timothy"
599.03 "Much obliged. Time-o'-Thay!"
Rising from the bed
or 'jumping up from the bed'
139.10 "goes mad entirely when he's waked"
Cries, while he lathered around like blazes,
or Says or Crying
Whittle or Whirling, or Throwing, or Twiddle, or Fling
or water
blazes (fweet)
"Bad luck till yer sowls! d'ye think I'm dead?"
Thanam o'n dhoul, do ye think I'm dead?
'Thanam o'n dhoul, do you think I'm dead'
Tell 'em up there, they think I'm dead!
Thundering Jaysus... Thundering blazes...

(if you start with the goal
of a history of the world
emphasizing how history
repeats with variations
a few basic human stories
& if you want to particularize these universals
through a specific but fictional
family in Dublin
the Liffey river makes for a natural
symbol/metaphor/archetype)
riverrun,
[fweb]
google doesn't know any earlier appearances of 'riverrun'
French 'rêverons' = let us dream together
rivers run eternally to the sea, where they evaporate into clouds that rain down and start the cycle over again. Joyce equated the river with Anna Livia Plurabelle, ALP = △
there are about 1700 known river names in FW, including 1000 in a single chapter
so, history is a cyclical dream
there's a secondary theme of the possibly-widowed Mrs Tim Finnegan writing a letter to a 'Revered Majesty', and the opening word 'Revered' or 'Reverend' may be blurred here. cf 615.12 "Dear. And we go on to Dirtdump. Reverend."
the first axiom of Vico's New Science is that rumors grow as they spread (like rivers?)
and this first word is a continuation from the last sentence of the book (sometimes indented to midpage). Joyce Carol Oates: "When I read aloud to my students the last few pages of Finnegans Wake [626.35ff], and come to that glorious, and heartbreaking, final section (“But you're changing, acoolsha, you're changing from me, I can feel”), I think I'm able to communicate the almost overwhelmingly beautiful emotion behind it, and the experience certainly leaves me shaken"
but long before he wrote the last chapter, this conceptual opening quickly evolved from "Howth Castle & Environs!" to "brings us back to Howth Castle & Environs." to "river brings us back to Howth Castle & Environs." (each anticipating a different grammatical setup: object, verb, subject)
"along the riverrun" makes 'run' the noun, a 'river run' like a dog run, an enclosed distance where the river can run
'river runner' is used occasionally in boating
'Rún' in Irish is a riddle or mystery
run (Old English) mystery, secret; advice, counsel; writing; a rune
riverranno: (Italian) they will return; they will come back
reverrons: (French) let us see again
past Eve and Adam's,
[fweb]
the cycle began before the first human couple [wakepd]
Joyce (as usual) corrects patriarchal Judaism by restoring Eve's precedence over Adam
the river is all rivers, but especially the Liffey that runs through Dublin, past Adam and Eve's Church, founded in a tavern in 1618. (a passing glimpse at U141: "They see the roofs and argue about where the different churches are: Rathmines' blue dome, Adam and Eve's, Saint Laurence O'Toole's.")

looking north, Liffey flowing left to right:
from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
[fweb]
shore/bay = land/water (but no longer a river?)
swerve/bend = active/passive?
shores can be straight or not, but bayshores must bend concavely
ss... bb (esses are an alternating convex and concave curves, while b/Bs curve only in one direction)
cf 1.131: "from Buythebanks to Roundthehead"
brings us
point-of-view: we're following the river, we were upstream
by a commodious vicus of recirculation
[fweb]
(these are all words in good english dictionaries)
commode/odious/odorous subtly hints that the Liffey at Dublin used to be a notorious toilet/sewer, too
fw1 had "commodius"
'vicus' was the common Latin word for village/neighborhood/street, and consequently the origin of British placenames ending in '-wick' or '-wich'. In Latin it has to be WICKus, perhaps anglicised here as VICKus. (i don't think the Romans would have applied it to commodious curved riverruns.) HC Earwicker will be the book's central character.
VICKus also faintly echoes 'vicious circle' (but this opening mood is not vicious)
(Healy says VICKuss, which is probably right. other possibilities: VIGHcuss, VEEcus, WIGHcus or WEEcus.)
Joyce claimed Giambattista Vico's theory of cyclical history as one of his primary inspirations. his surname is always pronounced VEEcoh
but his cycle is vihCOHnian

back to Howth Castle & Environs.
[fweb]
'back' = we've been there/here before (an infinity of times)
Howth Head juts out into Dublin Bay. It has a castle dating back 700 years, and coincidentally a Martello tower dating back 200yrs. [aerial] [video]
Howth rhymes with oath. 21yo Poldy Bloom proposed to 17yo Molly Tweedy on the hill above the castle in 1888. [wakepd] [1909 map] [StreetView now]
it's incidentally the primary setting of the classic 1963 horror film "Dementia 13" [74min]
the initials HCE are a shorthand for the Finnegan archetype (via Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, aka "E") that's echoed on almost every page (474 out of 626)
the ampersand Joyce favored might hint at H.C. & Sons
FW1 spelled out "and"
surprisingly enough, the word-combination of 'castle' and 'environs' probably came from an eb11 article about Edinburgh (Scotland), which article Joyce had used heavily for chapter III.3 a couple of years earlier: 'The views of the city and environs from the castle or any of the hills are very beautiful'. cf the more common 'Howth Castle and demesne' 1908 ebook, 1909 map

(if you start with the goal
of a history of the world
emphasizing how history
repeats with variations
a few basic human stories
& if you want to particularize these universals
through a specific but fictional
family in Dublin
the Liffey river makes for a natural
symbol/metaphor/archetype)

| classic McHugh's annotations |
riverrun,
[fweb]
google doesn't know any earlier appearances of 'riverrun'
French 'rêverons' = let us dream together
rivers run eternally to the sea, where they evaporate into clouds that rain down and start the cycle over again. Joyce equated the river with Anna Livia Plurabelle, ALP = △
there are about 1700 known river names in FW, including 1000 in a single chapter

there's a secondary theme of the possibly-widowed Mrs Tim Finnegan writing a letter to a 'Revered Majesty', and the opening word 'Revered' or 'Reverend' may be blurred here. cf 615.12 "Dear. And we go on to Dirtdump. Reverend."
the first axiom of Vico's New Science is that rumors grow as they spread (like rivers?)
and this first word is a continuation from the last sentence of the book (sometimes indented to midpage). Joyce Carol Oates: "When I read aloud to my students the last few pages of Finnegans Wake [626.35ff], and come to that glorious, and heartbreaking, final section (“But you're changing, acoolsha, you're changing from me, I can feel”), I think I'm able to communicate the almost overwhelmingly beautiful emotion behind it, and the experience certainly leaves me shaken"
but long before he wrote the last chapter, this conceptual opening quickly evolved from "Howth Castle & Environs!" to "brings us back to Howth Castle & Environs." to "river brings us back to Howth Castle & Environs." (each anticipating a different grammatical setup: object, verb, subject)
"along the riverrun" makes 'run' the noun, a 'river run' like a dog run, an enclosed distance where the river can run
'river runner' is used occasionally in boating
'Rún' in Irish is a riddle or mystery
run (Old English) mystery, secret; advice, counsel; writing; a rune
riverranno: (Italian) they will return; they will come back
reverrons: (French) let us see again
past Eve and Adam's,
[fweb]
the cycle began before the first human couple [wakepd]
Joyce (as usual) corrects patriarchal Judaism by restoring Eve's precedence over Adam
the river is all rivers, but especially the Liffey that runs through Dublin, past Adam and Eve's Church, founded in a tavern in 1618. (a passing glimpse at U141: "They see the roofs and argue about where the different churches are: Rathmines' blue dome, Adam and Eve's, Saint Laurence O'Toole's.")

from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
[fweb]
shore/bay = land/water (but no longer a river?)
swerve/bend = active/passive?
shores can be straight or not, but bayshores must bend concavely
ss... bb (esses are an alternating convex and concave curves, while b/Bs curve only in one direction)
cf 1.131: "from Buythebanks to Roundthehead"
brings us
point-of-view: we're following the river, we were upstream
by a commodious vicus of recirculation
[fweb]
(these are all words in good english dictionaries)
commode/odious/odorous subtly hints that the Liffey at Dublin used to be a notorious toilet/sewer, too
fw1 had "commodius"
'vicus' was the common Latin word for village/neighborhood/street, and consequently the origin of British placenames ending in '-wick' or '-wich'. In Latin it has to be WICKus, perhaps anglicised here as VICKus. (i don't think the Romans would have applied it to commodious curved riverruns.) HC Earwicker will be the book's central character.
VICKus also faintly echoes 'vicious circle' (but this opening mood is not vicious)
(Healy says VICKuss, which is probably right. other possibilities: VIGHcuss, VEEcus, WIGHcus or WEEcus.)
Joyce claimed Giambattista Vico's theory of cyclical history as one of his primary inspirations. his surname is always pronounced VEEcoh
but his cycle is vihCOHnian

back to Howth Castle & Environs.
[fweb]
'back' = we've been there/here before (an infinity of times)
Howth Head juts out into Dublin Bay. It has a castle dating back 700 years, and coincidentally a Martello tower dating back 200yrs. [aerial] [video]
Howth rhymes with oath. 21yo Poldy Bloom proposed to 17yo Molly Tweedy on the hill above the castle in 1888. [wakepd] [1909 map] [StreetView now]
it's incidentally the primary setting of the classic 1963 horror film "Dementia 13" [74min]
the initials HCE are a shorthand for the Finnegan archetype (via Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, aka "E") that's echoed on almost every page (474 out of 626)

Then, unburdened of the black beast, and sounding a trumpet, he put his own dung, which he called his "downcastings", into an urn once used as an honoured mark of mourning. With an invocation to the twin brethren Medard and Godard he then passed water into it happily and mellifluously, while chanting in a loud voice the psalm which begins: "My tongue is the pen of a scribe writing swiftly".

Weeping and groaning he relieved himself into his own hands. Then, unburdened of the black beast, and sounding a trumpet, he put his own dung, which he called his "downcastings", into an urn once used as an honoured mark of mourning. With an invocation to the twin brethren Medard and Godard he then passed water into it happily and mellifluously, while chanting in a loud voice the psalm which begins: "My tongue is the pen of a scribe writing swiftly". Finally, from the foul dung mixed, as I have said, with the "sweetness of Orion", and baked and then exposed to the cold, he made himself an indelible ink'
