I'm not sure what the source of this disbelief is;



The disbelief is rooted in the notion that you would spend a lot of time trying to find meaning in Joyce, or at least trying to find meaning in it through intellectual means. That there would be a lot of typos in Ulysses I find not at all hard to believe. To borrow a phrase from the late, great Walt Kelly, Joyce ran with the language and in doing so left much that would be hard to corroborate from standard sources. My advice for reading Joyce is just to go with the flow. Surrender to the music. Don't try to analyze it intellectually.

That said, I might suggest that arruginate is not a typo but a dialectical represention of originate. Try it with the context.
