Ah. I had considered "limn" as a possible derivation for
Limerix in addition to limericks, which would fit our Rohan Innkeeper, as he does have a way with words, illuminating or describing things, and it is an archaic word, which he plays with there.
Limnerix?
Or just a plain old spelling conundrum of
-icks or
ics and
-x. Then we could have
Essex : Ex
Of course, we would have to divise a way to differentiate an Essex from a Middlesex, should we ever have a member of that name. Would the Middle one be Sx? Now there's the rub.
