An archaic or dialectal term for a mountain, hill, or elevated place, particularly in Germanic languages and English dialects.
From Old English and Germanic 'berg' or 'borg,' related to German 'Berg,' meaning mountain or fortified place.
The word 'bergh' appears in old English place names and maps but disappeared from everyday use—it's a linguistic fossil showing the English word pool before we replaced Germanic words with French alternatives after the Norman Conquest!
