  • Adam and Eve’s: a tavern in Rosemary Lane, Dublin; in 1618, in the time of the Penal Laws, the Franciscans established a secret church in the lane in which Mass was secretly performed; since the tavern had its shingle at the end of the lane, worshippers could enter the lane without arousing suspicion
    • Ulysses 641.17: "and masshouse (Adam and Eve's tavern)" [one of the points of contact linking Irishman and Jew]
  • Adam and Eve: characters in the Old Testament; according to Judaeo-Christian legend, Adam and Eve are the original parents of human civilization, with whom human history begins; HCE and ALP can be also thought of as the prototypical parents in FW; Eve and Adam were also, in that order, the committers of original sin
  • Eve & Adams: "even atoms"; atoms are the primordial particles from which the universe and all life in it comes in Epicurean philosophy; hence: riverrun past Eve and Adams = "they will arrive (Italian) beyond even (i.e. straight) atoms" → FW 003.17 Wallstrait
  • Eve: from the Hebrew, Hawah, meaning "living one" → life → Life = Liffey (in Irish) → Livia → ALP
  • Eve and Adam's: the Garden of Eden → Eden Quay, Dublin, one of the quays on the River Liffey; it is downstream from Adam & Eve's Church and on the other side of the Liffey
  • Eve and Adam's: the rivers Lethe ("Oblivion") and Eunoë ("Good Remembrance"), which flow around Adam and Eve's Earthly Paradise in Dante's Purgatorioriverrun (Erinnerung = memory)
  • évier: (French) sink, basin → is there one in the corner of HCE's bedroom? → FW 559.14-15: "tumbler, quantity of water" → the 2nd of 7 elements in a circuit of the bedroom
  • ewer: a large water-jug → is there one in the corner of HCE's bedroom? → FW 559.14-15: "tumbler, quantity of water" → the 2nd of 7 elements in a circuit of the bedroom
