Quan les muntanyes són colls. Advertiment toponímic per a geògrafs

Main Article Content

Jesús Burgueño i Rivero
Generally ignored, in Catalan a coll is not just a pass in the mountain, but formerly
also meant (and even preferred) to the mountains themselves, whether isolated or like a
prominence of a mountain slope. This archaic sense is still preserved in southern Catalonia
and northern Valencia, as well as the diminutive collet (hill) which is also used in
central Catalonia. Among the colls referring to the mountains there are so known as:
Collbató, Colldejou, Coll de Nargó, Collserola or Collsuspina.
