° A reference to the smoke caused by the wind earlier in the paraphrase. A lum is a chimney, and as long as it is reeking (smoking) it indicates that there is prosperity in the house. It seems fitting that this old Scottish blessing be shouted out in an English paraphrase of the Chinese text which is really all about material prosperity in the new year.
