Hard to tell, as Joyce intentionally modified common words to better suit his purpose, that is to render new meanings and also sound musical. For instance, Joyce argued that the word "battlefield" is correct as long as it refers to a field where the battle is raging; when the battle is over and the field is covered in blood, it is a "bloodfield". In "Finnegans Wake" (by the way, no apostrophe) James Joyce goes even further and transforms the word into "bluddle filth" (a combination between "buddle" and "blood"? - I have no certainty).
Joyce also stated that if anyone had trouble understanding "Finnegans Wake" they should read it aloud.

In James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake," the wife is not given a specific name. She is referred to as ALP, which is short for Anna Livia Plurabelle. This character symbolizes the River Liffey in Dublin and plays a significant role in the novel's themes of life, death, and resurrection.
