From FinnegansWiki
- Psalm 137 "By the waters of Babylon we wept", a psalm from Hebrew captivity in Babylon.
- Babble along?
- Tower of Babel, which displeased God and was unfinished, after which point God created confusion of language among the groups of the Earth--perhaps parallel to HCE's comparison to Tim Finnegan as a builder and fear of the fall (as with Finnegan), and the book's seeming chaos of language, and most certainly, the book's diversity of language.
