 Inner City Books / Jung at Heart
With passion and humor, Sharp and the feisty Professor Adam Brillig (the author's familiar, and soon ours too) dialogue their way through these difficult concepts, differentiating between the pure principles (archetypes) which seek consciousness, and their manifestation as complexes.
Brillig shows up on Sharp's doorstep with his assistant Norman and several suitcases full of alchemical magic.
Adam Brillig, to name the primary example, is representative of the ongoing dialogue which Sharp is having with his own unconscious under the guise of the wise old man. Indeed, I suspect that all these characters are individual images not only of Sharp's personal unconscious, but also drawn from the collective unconscious.

Note that in 'Misch-Masch' bryllyg is spelt with two y’s rather than the two i's that were used later in the published version of Looking-glass.

Schwartz freely admitted to me that he had in fact employed the "CRACK" program to access passwords for both "BRILLIG" and SSD but told me that his only reason for doing so was to test both security systems that should have prevented anyone from using the crack type program to access passwords.
Schwartz did acknowledge however that another reason he was attempting to crack a 'BRILLIG' password was that his contract with the 'BRILLIG' system was soon due to end and he wished to ensure that he would continue to have password access to the 'BRILLIG' system after his contract ended and his personal password revoked.
Schwartz denied that during his accessing of 'BRILLIG' and SSD, he had never at any time either viewed the contents of any file that he had accessed, not had he made any copies of any kind of any of those files." Q22.

 'Uncle Derek Says' - Aechmea bromeliifolia / 'Brillig' / 'Red Bands'
Now to another hybrid from this group namely 'Brillig' which seems to have a similar stormy past and similar identity problems.
Peter Franklin got a plant (PAF1105) called 'Brillig' from Bill Morris and which luckily still had CJ 3/84 2/86 suggesting it came from Carol Johnson of Pineapple Place, Florida.
By the way, you do not identify Aechmea maculata just by the spotting on the leaf sheath but rather by the bright yellow petals, the sepals at least 8mm long and the retuse floral bracts (a 'v' cut at the tip).

The basement of David Brillig's house is turned over to the purpose of family room.
It is the site of the Brillig stereo, the Brillig television, the Brillig game library (a small set of musty boxes handed down from generations past, including Monopoly, Sorry and Clue, plus a more contemporary box of Trivial Pursuit, circa 1980).
The Brillig family room has also for the last three years been WIlliam's and David's private stage, where they decided their choices for pieces to perform, worked out the cuttings, and practiced them and practiced them and practiced them again until they were better than perfect.

 [1999: September] "Brillig"
So far, no one has ever taken 'brillig' as anything but an adjective, typically as a portmanteau combining 'brilliant' and some sort of vague Germanic *-ig* suffix.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome wraths outgrabe.
Dumpty's exeggesis of the poem might be flawed makes me uffish, I will admit that other philologists are free to consider "brillig" an adjective; but it doesn't have to be.

 MANIFOLD-13: Lemmawocky
We have a brillig dynamical system in the plane, and it has finitely many borogroves....
So brillig means 'structurally stable', while the borogoves are the singularities.
Mome is derived from 'far from home', a term clearly applicable to limit sets, particularly if the phrase mome raths is taken to mean 'trajectories far from home'; in which case rath is probably a mis-spelling of path.

 Jabberwocky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This is because, while it is not possible to tell whether a word such as "brillig" is an noun, verb, or adjective.
Sentences such as "Look at that brillig," "I brillig every night before I go to bed," and "What a brillig cat that is" are all sound equally correct (and non-sensical).
The second two blanks appear to work as a group, and since they are both preceded by a "the," we can assume that the "rath" is a noun, and "mome" is the adjective which describes it.
