Kobilje Creek
Kobilje Creek (Template:Lang-hu, Template:Lang-sl or [Kobiljanski potok] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a brook in northeastern Slovenia and western Hungary. The brook is 33 kilometres (21 mi) long; 24 km (15 mi) of the course is in Slovenia.[1] Its source is at Kamenek Hill (391 metres or 1,283 feet)[2] and it flows through Kobilje, crosses the Slovenian–Hungarian border, returns to Slovenia, and joins the Ledava from its left side. It is the longest tributary of the Ledava.[2]
History and name
Kobilje Creek was first mentioned in 1208 as aguam Kobula. In 1236, it was mentioned as Kebela, in 1329 as Kebelie, and in 1338 as Kebele.[3] The Slovene name of the creek is derived from Slavic *kobyla 'mare'. The current Slovene names for the creek are derived from the settlement of Kobilje. However, based on medieval sources, the creek was originally called *Kobilja (voda) (literally, 'mare creek') and the settlement of Kobilje was named after the creek. The creek was then later renamed after the settlement.[4]
