Jreengus would be a kobold, yes, and the quote relates to how ridiculous the game's historical event system handled things back then. Instead of saying "In 1048, the kobold Jreengus stole a cinnabar amulet from the Confederation of Tools in Humantown." it just said "Jreengus occurred." Which if you think about it is mildly humorous. Jreengus is the first of the historical figures in that list of item descriptor shapes you linked to. Nobody should ever forget how bold that little kobold was.
"What happened in 1048?" "Jreengus occurred."

You'd think that complete lockdown is a good solution to a siege, but although a dwarven fortress may appear self-contained and fully functional, your dwarves have nothing to do but get moody, lash out at a world which doesn't understand their needs, get hammered, throw funeral receptions, conduct grief counseling sessions, and perform the occasional keg stand.
In short, the attacking army can simply wait until your dwarves emo themselves to death.

You won't last a year. What went through the minds of your dwarfs when they stopped the cart? "Hey, I bet we can put those flaming, bony monstrosities into our still to make wicked firedemon brew"? The last fortress I started under conditions this horrible ended with the last survivor going mad after a skeletal mandrill ate his pet kitten and going on a suicide charge into zombie elefants while naked and on fire. And it wasn't even autumn yet. --Herr Zwiebel, on Fort Headshoots
