The Lord’s Prayer in Wakese

“Let outers pray” (482.18):
oura vatars
that arred in Himmal,
harruad bathar namas, (599.5-6)
In kingdome gone
or power to come
or gloria be to them farther? (213.31-32
Bring us this days our maily bag! (603.7-8)
the foregiver of trosstpassers (345.28)
I have not left temptation (311.13)
That they take no chill (259.5)
Forsin. Thy thingdome (18.21)
in guilt and in glory (627.23-24)
her heavens for ever (29.14)

  YMEN (92.22)

Wakese is, of course, the language of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Numbers in parentheses represent page and line numbers in FW.
