Finnegas

He is in this batch because the story does not work without him: the point of it is that seven years of patience are beaten by a boy burning his thumb, and a registry that held only the boy would hold half a joke. The pool is on the Boyne, which is `irish_boann` — the corpus holds the river as a goddess and now holds the man who sat beside her for seven years, though no edge is drawn, because the treatment gives a location and not a relation.
