whichbe commented on the word three quarks for muster mark
This phrase, on page 383 of Finnegans Wake, is the origin of the spelling given by physicist Murray Gell-Mann to quarks, a type of subatomic particle. (In the book, the phrase is sung by a chorus of seabirds, and probably means 'three cheers' or—judging from Joyce's notes—three jeers.) (Wikipedia)
