NPPF: anagrams

[Jasper Fidget]

Botkin:

"Kin bot" (Anglo Saxon): the price you paid to the family of the person you
murdered

V.P. Botkin: 19th century critic and translator who published a famous
translation of Shakespeare in 1880

V.S. Botkin: A close friend of Nabokov's father and a leader of the Berlin
Russians while the Nabokovs lived there

See also Index, page 306 of _Pale Fire_.  Note: both *bot* ("plop") and
*boteliy* ("big-bellied") are actual words to be found in the Russian Dal
(the Russian equivalent of the OED).
