  • Rive gauche (French): Left Bank (of a river); specifically, of the Seine in Paris, where the Left Bank district is known for its artistic, bohemian culture (like Shem)
  • Rive Droite (French): Right bank (of a river); the Right Bank district in Paris is the city's more commercial, conservative quarter (like Shaun)
  • Droichead: (Irish) over the bridge
  • Sinister: (Latin) Left
  • The 'reeves' are rivers: the Seinne and Liffey. Ulysses was received well in Paris but was sinful and sinister in Dublin.
