themselse

on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce

themselse
Discovered in p3:
nor had topsawyer’s rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens County’s gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time...

Humpty Dumpty says:
Themselse is also just a portmanteau word Joyce made with themselves & else, meaning “themselves & another people,” I am sure.”

ジョイス作『フィネガンズ・ウェイクについて

ハンプティ・ダンプティいわく

Themselseっちゅうんも、ジョイスが themselves  else から作ったかばん語で、「彼ら自身と他の人々」のつもりじゃよ、きっと」
