In response to your "un-question" of the meaning of "motuweth frisas" in
Vladimir Nabokov's _Pnin_:
motuweth frisas is some bizarre abbreviation for the days of the week:
MOnday
TUesday
WEdnesday
THursday
FRIday
SAturday
Sunday

Don't worry, it took me a little while to figure this out. At first, I
thought it had to be nonsense. But I know that everthing VN writes has some
meaning, so I managed to figure it out and hoped that my elucidation will
help anyone else wondering about the strange Pninian vocabulary VN has
created.
