關於
Mount Svinjak (pronounced [sʋiˈnjaːk]) is a 1,653-meter (5,423 ft) mountain in northwestern Slovenia in the Julian Alps. It stands east-northeast of Bovec.
The name of the mountain is derived from *Svitnjak 'shining one' (< svit 'dawn; light, shining') because it is illuminated by the rising sun when viewed from Bovec. The resemblance to the common noun svinjak (with various meanings: 'pigsty', 'pig dung'; 'cat's ear') is coincidental.
