I think "ad ae?ar um" means that there is a leprechaun's treasure room somewhere 
on that level - one of those hidden rooms with 4 squares.  In the swamp, you need 
to be levitated (by a potion or ring of levitatation) to not drown.  Royal jelly
slowly increases your strength up to a certain level.
