hill

dolm : hill

The Tarijan word for hill is dolm. Dolm is a rare last name.

International locations:
Dolm is a place in Norway. Dolm church (Norwegian: Dolm kirke) is a medieval white stone church originally built in 1188.

How I came up with this word:
Dolm is a mixture of the transliterated word for hill in Russian which is kholm (холм), and the transliterated word for hill in Mongolian which is dov (дов).

In my other conlangs:
The Miresua word for hill is moikä.
The Lhaesine word for hill is talt.
