Chigglewitz - (puzzle solver)

solve themselves. Perhaps they used to

= "puzzle solver, knowing how to assemble"
from "Teagall" //t''ig*ll// -

pronounced with a puff of air which makes it sound somewhat like a "st"

/ts'ix'/ (chiss) - "Treighte" = "piercer"
from "Treagh" - //tr'a:3// -
/ts'a:z/ (chahz) - "Treagh" = "pierce"
as an adjective used of pain, suffering and
bitter grief. Entirely appropriate for this rather nasty fellow.
Choggenmugger - (gluttonizer of dragons)

had been many dragons in Regos,but Choggenmugger was so fond of dragons that he
had eaten all of them long ago
"tDreugan mBagaire" //tr'ag*n mag*r'// - /ts'og*n
mag*r/ (choggen mugger) - "tDreugan mBagaire" =

combined with "-um" //um// - /um/

"-est"
which puns with the English
"Cocoloram" = "a small man in a high position" a word which
is coming back into use and apparently comes from the Dutch equivalent of
cock-a-doodle-doo and thus is more or less the same as "little
cock-a-hoop"

and implies a woman who won't listen to reason(!) Since the name Cora means the
same, I don't suppose that was ever a popular woman's name in Gaelic Ireland.
