Changes: Kosst Amojan

Revision as of 10:35, 25 May 2011

Notice

It has been suggested that this article should be merged with Kosst Amojan.
You can discuss this suggestion on the talk page.

Koss'moran is a Bajoran legend that tells of false Prophets, the Pah-wraiths, who were cast out of the Bajoran celestial temple. The Bajoran word Koss'moran comes from the verb kosst that means "to be," and amoran, which means "banished." (DS9: "The Assignment")

According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (pp. 389-390), Koss'moran is actually the same thing as Kosst Amojan - they both mean "to be banished". René Echevarria simply altered the name (with Ira Behr's approval) because he didn't like the "moron" part of the name.
