2 Takt
4 Takt

I am guessing german for 2 stroke and 4 stroke. Seeing as it was originally the "Otto Cycle" for 4 strokes.

This is the answer I had too. Mr Otto was a German man who invented the 4 stroke, so Germany take the credit there.

It was some years later that the 2 stroke was invented though, and by a Brit. So I dont think we whould be using the German really!!

So lets make it a 4T and a 2S

Simples.......
