Fun Fact About Stary and Novy

[Lowe (DayZ) 0]

"Stary" and "Novy" just mean "old" and "new" respectively. So the towns are really named "Old Sobor" and "New Sobor."

Just an interesting tidbit I think people would be interested in.

I read somewhere that "Sobor" means church. So New/Old Church. Though I am not sure, but it makes sense, there are churches in both.

Sobor does mean a certain type of church, though it also literally means "meeting or assembly". Though I have never heard it used in that way, I assume that the word "Sobranye" is the more modern version.

Most of the city names in arma mean something, many of them rather random. I remember seeing Empty, Old, Valley, Field, Shovel, Bitter, Swamp, Stony, Mosquito and Hope.
