Ulysses

What points of contact existed between these languages
and between the peoples who spoke them?
The presence of guttural sounds, diacritic aspirations,
epenthetic and servile letters in both languages: their

antiquity, both having been taught on the plain of Shinar
242 years after the deluge in the seminary instituted by
Fenius Farsaigh, descendant of Noah, progenitor of Israel,
and ascendant of Heber and Heremon, progenitors of
Ireland: their archaeological, genealogical, hagiographical,
exegetical, homiletic, toponomastic, historical and
religious literatures comprising the works of rabbis and
culdees, Torah, Talmud (Mischna and Ghemara), Massor,
Pentateuch, Book of the Dun Cow, Book of Ballymote,
Garland of Howth, Book of Kells: their dispersal,
persecution, survival and revival: the isolation of their
synagogical and ecclesiastical rites in ghetto (S. Mary’s
Abbey) and masshouse (Adam and Eve’s tavern): the
proscription of their national costumes in penal laws and
jewish dress acts: the restoration in Chanah David of Zion
and the possibility of Irish political autonomy or
devolution.
What anthem did Bloom chant partially in anticipation
of that multiple, ethnically irreducible consummation?
