Never read much on the Wake, so this is a start:
The LRB should give this guy some space, from here:
"Finnegans Wake is based on the structure of the zodiac, the zodiac signs being derived from the nature of numbers and a corresponding geometric sequence."

If you find $410 burning a hole in your pocket, there may be worse things to fling it away upon. Otherwise, what jed said.

the site looks good but a lot of its 'glosses' appear to be straight definitions of well-known words that were already appearing in FW in unaltered, Standard English form.

yes some of the glosses feel unnecessary, am not sure whether the annotator feels those words are archaic or peculiar to British usage
