  • "By the waters of Babylon we wept", Psalm 137 of the Books of Psalms, from Hebrew captivity in Babylon.
  • Babble along
  • Tower of Babel: which displeased God and was unfinished, after which point God created confusion of language among the groups of the Earth--perhaps parallel to HCE's comparison to Tim Finnegan as a builder and fear of the fall (as with Finnegan), and the book's seeming chaos of language, and most certainly, the book's diversity of language.
