On page 75 of A Reader's Guide to Finnegan Wake, in analysis of the line "to league his lot, palm and patte, with a papishee [62.9]", Tindall links "papishee" with both ALP and Nora, but without any justification. A quick google reveals that this link is now well repeated, without any further justification.
- Does any Joyce lover know how "papishee" relates to Nora Barnacle?
Since the correct answer is most probably negative (there is no direct relation to Nora), I would most certainly accept an answer such as "I have read Richard Ellman's James Joyce and do not recall James ever referring to Nora in such a manner."
