About this deal

Brilumis, kaj la ŝlirtaj melfoj en la iejo ĝiris, ŝraŭis; mizaris la maldikdudelfoj, forfuraj ratjoj vaŭis. Beamish: Radiantly beaming, happy, cheerful. Although Carroll may have believed he had coined this word, usage in 1530 is cited in the Oxford English Dictionary. [22] In Through the Looking-Glass, the character of Humpty Dumpty, in response to Alice's request, explains to her the non-sense words from the first stanza of the poem, but Carroll's personal commentary on several of the words differ from Humpty Dumpty's. For example, following the poem, a "rath" is described by Humpty Dumpty as "a sort of green pig". [18] Carroll's notes for the original in Mischmasch suggest a "rath" is "a species of Badger" that "lived chiefly on cheese" and had smooth white hair, long hind legs, and short horns like a stag. [19] The appendices to certain Looking Glass editions state that the creature is "a species of land turtle" that lived on swallows and oysters. [19] Later critics added their own interpretations of the lexicon, often without reference to Carroll's own contextual commentary. An extended analysis of the poem and Carroll's commentary is given in the book The Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner. Tove: Humpty Dumpty says "'Toves' are something like badgers, they're something like lizards, and they're something like corkscrews. ... Also they make their nests under sun-dials, also they live on cheese." [18] Pronounced so as to rhyme with groves. [21] They "gyre and gimble", i.e., rotate and bore. Toves are described slightly differently in Mischmasch: "a species of Badger [which] had smooth white hair, long hind legs, and short horns like a stag [and] lived chiefly on cheese". [19]

References the Oxford English Dictionary (1530). All the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe. Some mome raths are slithy toves. Hence some mome raths did gyre and gimble in the wabe.Hofstadter also notes that it makes a great difference whether the poem is translated in isolation or as part of a translation of the novel. In the latter case the translator must, through Humpty Dumpty, supply explanations of the invented words. But, he suggests, "even in this pathologically difficult case of translation, there seems to be some rough equivalence obtainable, a kind of rough isomorphism, partly global, partly local, between the brains of all the readers". [33] As Gyre & Gimble, work includes: co-director/puppet designer of The Four Seasons: A Reimagining (Shakespeare’s Globe) , The Hartlepool Monkey (UK tour) and The Elephantom (National Theatre & West End). As well as co-designer/director of puppetry for The Grinning Man (Bristol Old Vic & West End) and Running Wild (Chichester Festival Theatre, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre & UK Tour).

Vorpal: Carroll said he could not explain this word, though it has been noted that it can be formed by taking letters alternately from "verbal" and "gospel". [28] It has appeared in dictionaries as meaning both 'deadly' and 'extremely sharp'. [29]It seems very pretty," she said when she had finished it, "but it's rather hard to understand!" (You see she didn't like to confess, even to herself, that she couldn't make it out at all.) "Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas—only I don't exactly know what they are! However, somebody killed something: that's clear, at any rate." [1] Galumphing: Perhaps used in the poem as a blend of "gallop" and "triumphant". [22] Used later by Kipling, and cited by Webster as "To move with a clumsy and heavy tread" [24] [25] Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave. Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux Et le mômerade horsgrave. raths: (fictional) turtle with a mouth like a shark and a smooth green body; lives on swallows and oysters ( OED)

Carroll makes later reference to the same lines from Hamlet Act I, Scene i in the 1869 poem "Phantasmagoria". He wrote: "Shakspeare [ sic] I think it is who treats/ Of Ghosts, in days of old,/ Who 'gibbered in the Roman streets". The “toves” in line number two are said to “gyre,” perhaps meaning gyrate, or dance, “in the wabe”. The word “wabe” is later described as being a grass area around a sundial. There is clearly a magical or mystical element to the scene. Chao, Yuen Ren (1969). "Dimensions of Fidelity in Translation With Special Reference to Chinese". Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies. Harvard-Yenching Institute. 29: 109–130. doi: 10.2307/2718830. JSTOR 2718830. Burbled: In a letter of December 1877, Carroll notes that "burble" could be a mixture of the three verbs 'bleat', 'murmur', and 'warble', although he did not remember creating it. [22] [23]

Though the poem contains many nonsensical words, English syntax and poetic forms are observed, such as the quatrain verses, the general ABAB rhyme scheme and the iambic meter. [30] Linguist Peter Lucas believes the "nonsense" term is inaccurate. The poem relies on a distortion of sense rather than "non-sense", allowing the reader to infer meaning and therefore engage with narrative while lexical allusions swim under the surface of the poem.

Outgrabe: Humpty Dumpty says "'outgribing' is something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle". [18] Carroll's book appendices suggest it is the past tense of the verb to 'outgribe', connected with the old verb to 'grike' or 'shrike', which derived 'shriek' and 'creak' and hence 'squeak'.
