Comments

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

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 [1] is more complete. Lebatsnok 12:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

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

A non-English name can be pronounced in a wide variety of ways. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.8.170.6 (talk) 09:55, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
