Lipoleum

• Napoleon: Napoleon Bonaparte, whom Wellington defeated at Waterloo
  • Third Census of Finnegans Wake

• lipos (Greek) + oleum (Latin): fat + oil → lipoleum (if it were a word) would mean "the [olive] oil made from fat"; cp. petroleum, which means "the oil made from rock." But why does Napoleon = fat-oil?

• linoleum: a type of floor-covering impregnated with linseed-oil → FW 021.13: oil cloth flure
