Dear all,

General Dutch distinguishes between 'heuvel' ("hill") and 'berg'
("mountain"). Flemish, indeed, has lost 'heuvel'. All mountains and hills,
whether low or tall, are indiscriminately called 'berg'. In some placenames,
however, 'hil/hul' has been preserved: e.g. Lotenhulle (in East-Flanders).

Kind regards,

Roger
