Name
Sign for Mount Blegoš (spelled Blegaš) in Čabrače
Blegoš was attested in historical records as Bligosh and Bligos in 1763–1787. In the local dialect, it is known as Bliegaš. The name Blegoš is a clipped borrowing from the German name Fleherskofel (a compound of Fleher 'suppliant, petitioner' and Kofel 'mountain with a rounded top').[1][2]
