Hi Esther, what fun a new word! Irmus has a Latin ring to it. Perhaps with the evolution of a painting when completed, one could say irmus! Thanks.
Thank you, Esther! I always appreciate learning useful new terms--especially relevant ones--and this one fits right in!
An irmus! I love LOVE love this!! What a delightful read! Thank you!
Fascinating, Esther! And because of the event which changed my life today I am interested in the definition of irmus...the event was, of course, that I grew another leg.
Never mind...I was trying to write one.
But I found a better example:
"Here is the example of 'irmus' in the novel itself:
A chilly tickle, the cold of ice cubes within ice cubes—my ankle, touched by his big toe.
This is an example of irmus.
Mrs. Nixon: A Novelist Imagines a Life - Page 246"
I found that here:

Yes, Michelle: I like how you likened "Finis!" to "irmus!" because it's not until we've completed a work that we realize what we're saying.
Thanks, JoAnn and Bobbi, too, for taking the time to share your liking of this post - and April - for going the distance to find the usage in the Mrs. Nixon novel I COULDN'T! :)
Appreciations Esther -I have begun to learn a literary word today with this. It will be fun to look for/recall uses of it. All the comments are a reflecting of what an interesting post this is. For fun my Google image search for the term came up with some interesting links. Her is the url
https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&q=%22irmus%22&gbv=2&oq=%22irmus%22&gs_l=img.12..0i24l2.1439.4846.0.7174.11.9.2.0.0.0.112.748.8j1.9.0....0...1ac.1.34.img..2.9.670.4a8MatO7-vk
Teaching Authors is such a great site to visit.
Thanks, Jan, for going the distance in tracking down more about that unique word/term "IRMUS."
I love the town names and references.
When I first came upon the word, I thought it might be the child of the long-ago tv show "I Love Irma" and today's "Imus in the Morning." :)
