| MoapaPk | mud? | |
Voted 10/10 | I have to vote for it because the name is so neat. What is the English translation for "mud"? Is it a place name? Corno I get (as in "cornucopia"). "Obfuscate the sky" -- ? Do you mean "obscure the sky"? | |

Hasn't voted | It's hard to give a translation for the name of this mountain, The name belongs to the original language spoken by the first inhabitants of this area, the Walzers, that came to Valsesia from Wallis in Switzerland. Their language was a local dialect of german, so I am not able to translate ‘Mud’ to English. In any case, for the fact that sometimes the words of german sounds a little like the English ones and being Valsesia a rainy valley I think that ‘Mud’ could have the same meanings of the English mud. 'Corno' instead means 'horn', and is often used in the names of mountains here in Italy. Marco. | |

Hasn't voted | Good idea! There are several nice summits there: Pizzo Montevecchio, Tignaga, Altemberg, Capezzone, Ronda...but that's a veery long range and I have to scan some old photos first. For now I am about to make two pages on the single summits of Piglimò and Carnera together with an extensive one on the whole Tagliaferro range. | |
