I, Ethel, ran across this: Finding Percy French in James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake by Bernadette Lowry, Thu Jul 28 2022. Link: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/2022/07/28/finding-percy-french-in-james-joyces-finnegans-wake/
“French can be considered the singular Finnegan of the cosmic Finnegans of Joyce’s final novel. Since I wrote the book, I decoded another clencher in the portmanteau word in the last three lines of Finnegans Wake ‘Bussoftlhee’ which unscrambles as the ‘Buss of ethel,’ The ‘Kiss of Ethel.’ Ethel was French’s tragic first wife, so active on The Jarvey. The word ‘ethel’ crops up in corruptions all over the Wake.”
