Talk:Ernst Öpik

Comments
What is the source of the claim that he was of Baltic German origin? Andres 19:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

The claim is obviously wrong, so I deleted it. Öpik's family name is Estonian (meaning "nightingale") -- so he couldn't have been German. The article in Estonian wikipedia is more complete. Lebatsnok 12:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation
How was his name pronounced in English? Was it "OH-pik" like Lembit Öpik? — kwami (talk) 07:31, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
