  • Ostrogoths (often problematically denoted "Eastern 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".
  • oyster gods
  • oystery: resembling, or redolent of, oysters
