  • The blond invaders (comely norgels or Norse) desire the brunette women of Ireland → does this refer to the coming of Norse settlers to Ireland?
  • Finngaill: (Irish) "fair-haired foreigner" → term used in Irish annals to refer to the earliest wave of Norsemen (probably of Norwegian origin) to settle in Dublin → Finnegan = fairheaded → HCE has Scandinavian ancestry
  • aufsuchen: (German) to hunt up
  • brune: (French) darkhaired → Dubgaill (Irish) "black-haired foreigner" → term used in Irish annals to refer to the second wave of Norsemen (probably of Danish or Anglo-Danish origin) to settle in Dublin
