- happy Xmas → FW 197.15: happy isthmass
- scraggy: unkempt, straggling, irregular
- Ulysses 027.27: "His [Sargent's] tangled hair and scraggy neck..."
- craggy: full of crags or broken rocks; rough, rugged
- scragged: rough, rugged
- scrag: neck
- scraggy: thin, bony, often applied to the neck. If Howth Head is Finnegan's head then the scraggy isthmus, the isthmus of Sutton, is his neck
- Isthmus of Sutton: a narrow isthmus located about 12km from the centre of Dublin at the base of the Howth peninsula. It is a tombolo and connects Howth to the mainland.
- isthmos (ισθμος): (Greek) neck; peninsula
- eastmost: (adj) easternmost, farthest east
- A narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas usually with waterforms on either side. [1]
- Canals are commonly built on them to join two waterforms.
- In anatomy, isthmus refers to a constriction between organs. This is a list of anatomical isthmi: [2]
- "Isthmus" the mesencephalon (midbrain) - rhombencephalon(hindbrain) boundary
- Isthmus faucium (Throat)
- Isthmus glandularis or Thyroid isthmus
- Isthmus tubae auditivae (Eustachian tube)
- Isthmus tubae uterinae (Fallopian tube - Part of female reproduction organs)
- Uterine isthmus (Part of female reproduction organs)
- Isthmus prostatae (Prostate - Part of male reproduction organs)
- The uterine isthmus and isthmus tubae uterinae is essential for female reproduction and continuing cycle of life. As is the Isthmus prostatae in males.
- Isthmus urethrae (Urethra)
- The Isthmus urethrae connects the bladder with the world's water ways continuing the water cycle.
- Cavo-tricuspid isthmus of the right atrium of the heart, a body of fibrous tissue in the lower atrium between the inferior vena cava, and the tricuspid valve.
- "Scraggly isthmus of Europe Minor" = isthmus not of land but of boats (scraggly trade routes) that were the first to connect Europe to North America.
- Europe Minor
- Just as the Isthmus of Sutton separates Howth from the rest of Ireland, so the Bosphorus separates Europe and Asia → wars between Greece and Persia, symbolizing the conflict between east and west, and between the old and the new
- Peloponnesian War between two confederacies led respectively by Sparta (on the Peloponnesian peninsula) and Athens (on the other side of the Isthmus of Corinth) → penisolate war
- Asia Minor: the colonial name for Anatolia
- Europa, daughter (descendant) of Ocean and Tethys, mother of Minos, ravaged by Zeus who, in the form of a bull abducted her to Crete.
