"hoppy on akkant of his joyicity"

(413.27-415.24)  The crowd seems a bit taken aback by Shaun's suggestion regarding the "verdigrease savingsbook" he introduced in yesterday's reading.  "Two venusstas!" they exclaim, referencing the two sisters from whose estates Shaun would establish the savings account.  "Qweer but gaon!"  Shaun does go on, and protests that the entire sum "was handled over spondaneously by me."  "I never spont it," he explains.  "Nor have I the ghuest of innation on me the way to.  It is my rule so.  It went anyway like hot pottagebake."

The misunderstanding regarding the money brings Shaun to his "fresh point," which the crowd "will now parably receive" in the form of the parable of the Ondt and the Gracehoper.  The crowd had hoped that this fresh point would come in the form of a song, but Shaun counters that "I would rather spinooze you one from the grimm gests of Jacko and Esaup," indicating that this fable from Aesop will touch upon the brother-struggle exemplified by the biblical Jacob and Esau.  The parable comes after Shaun clears his throat, symbolized by a thunderword composed of various foreign words for "cough."

The parable begins with the Gracehoper, who we learn "was always jigging ajog, hoppy on akkant of his joyicity."  When he wasn't jigging, he "was always making ungraceful overtures to Floh and Luse and Bienie and Vespatilla," seeking "to commence insects with him" (McHugh notes that each of the four women's names translate to a form of insect -- flea, louse, bee, and wasp -- which is typical of the voluminous insect references in this part of the chapter).  And if he wasn't jigging or trying to commence insects, "he was always striking up funny funereels with Besterfarther Zeuts, the Aged One" (another form of HCE).  The songs sung during these "funny funereels" included "Satyr's Caudledayed Nice," "Hombly, Dombly Sod We Awhile" (the humpty-dumpty theme again), and "Ho, Time Timeagen, Wake!" (the "Finnegan's Wake" theme again).  These dances were great fun:  "A high old tide for the barheated publics and the whole day as gratiis!"  While the old father is dead and buried, the new generation -- "his sunsunsuns" -- "still tumble on," in an apparent effort to "kick time."
