/* Page 834 */ Added metempsychosis comment in "Oo is 'E" entry, and Cirrhosis item
''''Oo Is 'E When 'E's at 'Ome''''<br />
"Who Is He When He's at Home?" This is a common Irish expression; if person A mentions a name in conversation that person B is unfamiliar with, person B might respond, 'And who's he when he's at home?'. The dropping of an initial 'h' is characteristic of speech in the north-of-England, rather than in Ireland.<br/>In ''Ulysses'', this is asked by Molly of Leopold Bloom as he explains the word ''Metempsychosis'' (Modern Library, p. 64) 
''''Exposed Northerners''''<br />
'''Nom'''<br />
Gately means "Norm," as in the ''Cheers'' character "Norm Peterson" played by George Wendt; "Nom" is how a North Shore native such as Gately might pronounce the name.
 
'''Sir Osis of Thuliver'''<br/>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrhosis Cirrhosis of the Liver]
