Brhovo

Brhovo (pronounced [bəɾˈxoːʋɔ], sometimes Vrhovo[1][2] or in older sources Verhovo,[3][4] German: Werchou[3][4]) is a former village in eastern Slovenia in the Municipality of Trebnje.

Žug Hill (Slovene: Žugov hrib, elevation: 349 meters or 1,145 feet) rises to the west,[5] and Trnič Hill (elevation: 435 meters or 1,427 feet) to the north.

[5] The toponym Brhovo, like the variant Vrhovo, is found only in Lower Carniola.

The pronunciation with an initial B- (also found in the local pronunciation of Vrhovo in the Municipality of Radeče and for Vrhovo pri Šentlovrencu) and medieval transcriptions indicate that the name is not derived from the common noun vrh 'summit, peak'.

[6] Brhovo was annexed by Mala Ševnica in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
