Los

And yet Los von Rom was the warcry of the Austrian extremists. Thank you; this is why I am not so imprudent as to edit the German Wikipedia, much less insist that my Sprachgefuehl should reign there. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But this los in los von Rom (btw: first used in that context in 1897 by Theodor Georg Rakus) means something like detached, so your Sprachgefühl wasn't wrong. If you're interested: written in small letters (there are different meanings if written in capital letters) this word may have one of the following meanings:

st. has come off; be rid or shot of sb./sth.; have lost sth. etc.
something is going on etc.
come on! or go on!; Achtung, fertig, los!: on your marks, get set, go etc.
colloquially: someone's gone off (in the car) etc.
colloquially: have got the screw out or the wheel off etc.

Emended, thanks. I hope the suggestion, in this case, of two interwiki links will be useful. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've just split the German article. -- Emdee (talk) 18:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
