One last (?)comment on Kinbote associations:  VN scrambled his last name to produce his first pseudonym:  V. Cantaboff.  A great name, it brings to mind song and buffo joking.  Don't you think that the name bears much resemblance to Kinbote--again the letters are recycled, only an "i" is added, reemphasizing, perhaps, VN himself:  I, Cantaboff, Kinbote.  Fran Assa
