Name

[edit]

I find the use of the word "Combe" strange in this case. Combe does actually not even refer to a mountain but to a valley and is used in the British Isles, not in Central Europe. The translation hence sounds artificial. A quick google search shows that most English sources are wiki-derived, while many other use Jezerska kočna. I suggest renaming. --Tone 20:33, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree because the second element of the name is consistently capitalized in Slovene and thus treated like a proper noun (unlike the nearby Ravenska kočna, Makekova kočna, and Belska kočna, which are all treated as generic nouns), and so it would be reasonable to refer to the individual peak as "Jezersko Mount Kočna" (in distinction from nearby "Kokra Mount Kočna" Kokrska Kočna)—that is, it is the higher prominence of Mount Kočna on the Jezersko side in contrast to the lower prominence of Mount Kočna on the Kokra side. However, I think the best and simplest solution is to simply rename the page Kočna because there are plenty of sources that simply refer to this mountain (with two prominences) as Kočna (e.g., here, here, and here), as the Geopedia map also does when zoomed out.

Excellent solution, as well as the extra paragraph added! --Tone 06:28, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
