And for yet another interpretation, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnegan’s_Wake, in which it is claimed that: “The last part of the song where Tim Finnegan says, “Thanum an dhul” (“D’ainm an diabhal”), means “In the name of the devil”, and comes from the Irish.”
in the name of the devil = in ainm an diabhail, not d’ainm an diabhail
