so far... i'm getting the sense that
Bog Latin (in Ireland) comes in (at least) 2 forms :
1. looks much like real Latin, with some humorous vocab
-- the kind used by James Joyce
in his letters to friends
2. rougher and slangy... (like Shelta?)
e.g. liber means "sea" ------ used in FW (Finnegans Wake)
sabar means "eye"
------ just these 2 samples (liber, sabar) suggest that...
(Vocab -wise)
There's no overlap between the 2 forms (of Bog Latin)
