[Joyce's spelling: Telemachia, Eolus, Nausikaa, Eumeus, etc]

if you examine the manuscripts, there's no excuse for writing TelemachiaD, AEolus, NausiCaa, or EumAEus (you might as well say Finnegan's Wake)

in his notes, Eolus is always "Eol"
(in FW even Aesop is Esop, challengingly)
there are still some initial "Ae"s in FW [fweet-11] but no æs or Æs
FW1 had 4 'œ's that have been replaced by 'oe's in FW2

the 1961 Ulysses opts for somewhat more consistent 'ae' and 'oe' ligatures including the extremely silly-looking 'Phœnix'-- i just can't believe Joyce wanted this

(i'm guessing gabler removed most/all of these...?)


always A.E. for the person
"A. E. the mastermystic... A. E. has been telling... pulling A. E.'s leg"
"the eminent poet A. E."
"A. E.: what does that mean?"
"A. E. has been telling some yankee interviewer... A.E., Arval, the Name Ineffable"
"A.E.I.O.U."
"Mummed in names: A. E., eon"
"that frump today. A. E. Rumpled stockings."
