Miscellaneous tidbit: I think Austria is a corruption of "ost" = east.
Hence, country to the east of Germany.

Just a reminder. This person is in Australia, I think, and we might have

And I think the Austrians had first dibs on the sound-alike name (though
the root derivations probably are much different). ;-)
