Biryina Saindua

• From the 'Finnegans Wake Reading Group' 2010 log:

   I looked into some of the meanings of the "Biryina Saindua!" interjection 
   (561.19) and I found a few possibilities. Biryina is very close to Biryani, 
   a Persian dish composed of rice, meat, eggs, etc. I'm not sure how to fit 
   that in with anything, but it's the closest thing I could find. As for 
   Saindua, Sain is Welsh for "sound," whereas a Dua is an Arabic hardcore 
   prayer. That would fit with the concepts of "Sain" used as sound or saint. 

• I am positively sure that 'Biryina Saindua' means 'Saint Virgin' / 'Santa Virgina' in Basque, yet someone who actually knows Basque shall confirm!
