Hi there,
I am a Vietnamese translator. I’ve published my Vietnamese translation of To the Lighthouse in 2010. And now I am about to edit the translation of Mrs. Dalloway. But there is one point that I couldn’t resolve though I’ve tried to do my best to search. it is the word “kyar” in the follow sentence from Mrs Dalloway:
Edgar J. Watkiss, with his roll of lead piping round his arm, said
audibly, humorously of course: “The Proime Minister’s kyar.”
Thank you very much. To you all the best.

I believe this is a play on words between kyar (Definition of kyar
n. – Cocoanut fiber, or the cordage made from it.) and car, as Woolf has him making this statement “humorously of course.”
Thank you very much, Paula Maggio.
