But did Owen McMahon publish it in print himself, with the name 'Coyle' printed as such - in which case who was he and why was his being 'brought here' prove so fatal to the narrating hare? -

- or was it orally transmitted originally, before seeing print? - in which case I stick to my contention that 'coil', simply meaning trouble, no kind of 'personification', might possibly have been aurally and orally misinterpreted.
