Girlic teangue

• girlish → Issy is responsible for the footnotes in this chapter

• garlic tongue → has Issy been eating garlic as well as raw meat?

• Gaelic tongue → ráiméis is Gaelic

• teanga: (Irish) (1) tongue (2) language

• tang: teanga is pronounced tang-a, so teanga + tongue suggests that teangue should be pronounced tang → cf. Ulysses 053.03-04: "Most of all he [Bloom] liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine."
