- Ostrogoths: (often problematically denoted East Goths, as opposed to the West Goths or Visigoths) a Germanic tribe that influenced the political events of the late Roman Empire. They were originally called the Greutungi (probably meaning "Hill-fort people" – see Scandza), but this was soon replaced by Ostrogothi. The meaning of ostro- (from austro-) is presumably "shiny" rather than "eastern"
- oystrygods → oyster god(des)s: Scallop shell is one of symbols of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty and sexuality. Aphrodite rose from the foam of the sea and was carried by a scallop shell to the island of Cythera.
