- novo: (Latin, ablative case) new
- Dublin (reversed)
- Nil: (French) Nile (see p. 23 lines 19-21)
- Nizhni Novgorod: a Viking city in Russia → Dublin was a Viking city
- Nibelung: allusions here to the opening of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung Cycle, Das Rheingold, in which the Nibelung is trying to catch (cash cash) the frolicking Rheinmaidens, when a ray of light (swamplight) appears from below, revealing the Rheingold.
