* [[I Am X, Son of Y]]: Near the start of the story this line pops up: "the High King of Erin himself was my sire, Eocho Fedlech ('the Enduring') son of Finn, by name, who was son of Findoman, son of Finden, son of Findguin, son of Rogen Ruad ('the Red'), son of Rigen, son of Blathacht, son of Beothacht, son of Enna Agnech, son of Oengus Turbech."
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: Cú Chulainn has numerous lady friends, but there's only one Fer Diad.
