Excrement, once again something got lost in transmission. Hopefully this will
do better.

Hi, Shirley,
Wharton, Etyma Graeca, connects it with ποππύζω (POPPUZW) "I whistle."

Yassas Y'all
Could Jack or David, or anyone else, come up with a good translation for O POPOI
?
The dictionaries suggest "Alas. alack, woe is me" etc. - But it's used by a
rough tough Bronze Age soldier facing certain death (Hector) - not by a prim and
proper Victorian lady.
My students came up with a range of (unprintable) equivalents - but does anyone
know what a POPOS really was ?
thank you
