Now _ywm fegghig_ is clearly an attempt at spelling
[@wm fE(d)ZgI(d)Z] in Inglisc orthography, so it
must be part of Lucus. Beats me as to where and how,
though. Maybe the [(d)Z] is someones attempt att
imitating someones fricative /r/, but _(h)úm fergir_
seems almost as strange, unless it's Gaelic...
