I just came across this reference regarding Tyrion. The color Tyrian purple is what the Roman emperors used to wear, and even centuries before that, it was associated with nobility and higher echelons of society. Although I don't believe in A+J=T, this could give some fodder for its supporters, giving Tyrion a royal origin (the Iron Throne was very much the Westeros Empire). I've noticed many relate Tyrion and Claudius, a Roman emperor I do like this theory because of what it entails for Tyrion's name pronunciation. I think it was a disservice that the HBO's ASoIaF doujinshi by Dumb&Dumber standardized Tyrion's pronunciation as Tee-ree-on when it probably should've been closer to Tyrone, hence the Tyrian connection would make it Tie-ron, establishing an etymological connection with Tywin Tie-win, in which the same particle has the same pronunciation

Eyrie / eerie The seat of House Arryn is a desolate castle located at the top of a mountain surrounded only by air and the peak of the mountain from where Alyssa's Tears drop towards, but never reach, the ground below (i.e. there's sadness even in the sunniest and warmest day). The first impression we get of the Eyrie is Catelyn's POV. She notices something anomalous about it: While imprisoned, Tyrion gives us his impression of the sadistic nature of the builders of the Eyrie, regarding the lack of walls in the cells And of course, the culmination of this aversion to heights and the threat of a gruesome death by falling is the Moon Door. Remember Sweetrobin's favorite phrase: "Make him fly". Later, Sansa as Aleyne gives us a more insightful view of the Eyrie. Still, it is depicted as desolate and the isolation that emerges from it Even when well-lit with sunshine, the castle seems strangely eerie

Bread in the broader sense of food and nourishment could be at issue also. Don't forget that Pod is usually described as undernourished: too thin and short for his age. He looks (and behaves) very much a child compared to Sansa who is of an age with him. Pod was sentenced to death for sharing food belonging to Tywin with other soldiers, but his name saved him (Payne / paine / bread)

After I wrote my previous post, it occurred to me that the anagram of KOTN (King of the North) would be "knot."

Just read your thread about portals and seams and it reminded me that whenever I see the acronym KITN I always read "knit". I know that is a coincidence, but then again why call him the "King IN the North" when logic (and grammar, I guess) dictate that it should be the "King OF the North"?

Jaime / J'aime (French for "I like", "I love") I haven't worked a connection but it was always noticeable to me. Remember that as early as the first chapters of AGoT, Jaime utters "The things I do for love" before defenestrating Bran.

I came here looking for a solution, since I was having the same problem as many people above. I couldn't quote or reply on Firefox; it would show a grey box. Chrome didn't present this problem. I cleared the cache and all history for good measure and that seemed to solve the problem, but now it's happening again on Firefox. Chrome is unaffected.
