On page 116 of Finnegans Wake I stumbled upon what I believe to be a list of things. It states "For if the lingo gasped between kicksheets, however basically English, were to be preached from the mouths of wickerchurchwardends and metaphysicians in the row and advokaatoes, allvoyous, demivoyelles, languoaths, lesbiels, dentelles, gutterhowls, and furtz, where would their practice be or where the human race itself were the Pythagorean sesquipedalia of the panepistemion, however apically Volapucky, grunted and gromwelled, ichabod, habakuk, opanoff, uggamyg, hapaxle, gomenon, ppppfff, over country stiles, behind slated dwellinghouses, down blind lanes, or, when all fruit failes, under some sacking left on a coarse cart?"
Although I am not fully sure of what is being listed, it is apparent that he is listing things.
