Kobjeglava

Kobjeglava (pronounced [kɔbjɛˈɡlaːʋa]; Italian: Còbbia[2]) is a village west of Štanjel in the Municipality of Komen in the Littoral region of Slovenia next to the border with Italy.

[3] Kobjeglava was attested in written sources in 1300 as Cobila glaua and in 1349 as Cublaglauua.

The name is derived from reduction of *Kobilja glava 'mare's head', based on a metaphorical motivation.
