    Had to add that the (Moby Dick ship) Pequod jumped out right away for me at the beginning of this thunderword

    If you look at the structure of the paragraph as a textual shape, a cloud made up of lines of text, the image of the rainbow using the words themselves is on top while the thunderword strikes across the cloud-like paragraph like a bolt. He decided to paint a picture on the page while also painting one in your mind. My best guess...

    you may enjoy the Finnegans Wake audiobook we are working on, though we're certain you could outdo us if you gave the full thing a go!

    My Lithuanian-American Grandfather once remarked that thunder and lightening were our gods. He was referring to the old pagan beliefs. which he still remembered from legends in his childhood.

    Oh, I'm Russian interested in reading the masterpieces of Joyce. I heard about Joyce's adding foreign words in the text and I am happy to explore Russian one🤭 Thank you!
    P.S. Finnegans Wake is still too hard for me as I do not know English enough

    'Thrumathuna' was my UNIX password for a while. I'd excise pronounceable sections of a thunderword (and change it every 90 days).
    I'd leave a cryptic note FW2.37 for when I returned from vacation and had absolutely no idea what my password was.
    Yes, it could be broken with a dictionary bruteforce algorithm, but I'd have greater respect for the hackers.

    Joyce was terrified of thunder and dogs. He would fall to the ground in Switzerland when he heard thunder. Of dogs, he said: "They have no souls." Faititili is the Samoan for thunder. Not a written language but conventially no y on the end. Loud noise in Samoan is Ta'alili.

    I think the individual subwords should be pronounced in their native dialect, just to Wake it up a bit

    The 'fai' is pronounced fie as in fee fo fie fum. Not 'fey'. Not that Joyce would have pronounced it that way as he had an Irish accent of course.
