Å‹Å
Line 9 of the KÄ“len Jabberwocky:
Äniþ Ä“nne; Äniþ Ä“nne; ñamma jatÄÅ‹Å‹i Å‹Å tÅ jÄ“ste jarÅ«sÄ«sse rÄ ma kiÄ“;
(See Nov 7th’s post for an introduction.)
I blogged this word before, too, on March 2nd, 2011 as the number 140 octal, 96 decimal. The other meaning of this word is as an exaggerated many or very many. jatÄÅ‹Å‹i Å‹Å is therefore either 96 piercings (or cuts) or very many (hundreds of) piercings. jÄ“ste jarÅ«sÄ«sse is the instrument making the cuts. anrÅ«sÄ«sse is “back and forth”, as in swinging like a pendulum. And rÄ ma kiÄ“ means “through him/her/them”. So the swinging knife made very many piercings through him.

In the afternoon, the circular lizards did gyre and gimble around the shadow-stick.
The easily-annoyed thin-winged bird-spiders were annoyed.
The lost chicken-pigs make cough-cries!
Beware macÄppacÄe, its biting teeth, its many catching claws,
the frumious makÄ«maþÄlen, the macÅ«cÅ« bird
Be away from them.
For 1/8th of a day, he searched for his enemy, a deadly blade in his hand.
Therefore, leaning and still, he thought under the jasÄtsÄtena.
At that moment, mercurial macÄppacÄe came to there through the dark woods.
With flaming eyes, he made a noise like very loud popping bubbles.
One, two. One, two. The swinging knife made very many piercings through him.
