Pageing Ostsol

[Basic]

Nothing important here, I just wondered where your screen name "Ostsol" come from.

I hope you don't feel offended by this, but it does have a kind of funny ring to it for a Swede. You now the kids stories that say that the moon is made out of cheese? Well, "Ostsol" would mean cheese-sun in Swedish.

Doesn't it mean "east sun" in German?

 

[Basic]

Well, it could mean east-sun in Swedish too, but I've already got the image of a big glowing cheese in my head.

But you're probably closer to the origin of the name.

Doesn't it mean "east sun" in German?

not directly,east = ost but sun would be "Sonne". Sol would be latin for sun. Oh, and the German translation for "Warp" in ST:TOS.
