The meaning of vordhosbn

My online alias vordhosbn came from my teen years when I was listening to Aphex Twin. His track of the same name, has always held a special meaning for me and I still enjoy it, when from time to time the shuffle gods decide to play it for me.

The track name – vordhosbn, comes  from Cornish – an old Celtic language spoken in Cornwall, which is basis for a lot of the names of his tracks.

vordhosbn [most likely] means creaky sailboat, based on some forum discussions on WATMM, and on some Druks FAQ, that is only referenced here.

a vor = Launch or sail
hos = a coarse noise
