Name

Together with neighboring Velika Ligojna (literally 'Big Ligojna'), Mala Ligojna (literally, 'Little Ligojna') was attested in written sources in 1309 as Luckossel (and as Lucozel in 1317, Lvkozel in 1318, and Oberludigoni in 1526). The medieval transcriptions indicate that the name was Luko(va) sela (literally, 'Luka's village') in the 14th century, probably originally based on the name *Ľudigojь and then confused in the transcriptions with the similar name Luka. If so, today's name is a result of the sound change ľu- > li- and modern vowel reduction, and means 'Ljudigoj's village'.[5]

Church
Saint Leonard's Church

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Parish of Vrhnika.[6] The church dates from 1567 and was remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century.[4]

gollark: I implemented a simple naïve thing which assumed there was one pattern per item to make and that it was generally best to craft as little as possible, which are both completely wrong.
gollark: The problem is that I'm looking to implement it (in CC, though).
gollark: I've recently heard that AE2-style autocrafting (in Minecraft: ask if you don't know about it) is actually very hard. The bit about picking what crafting tasks to do in what order, I mean. Can someone explain a bit more?
gollark: As well as being dubiously faster, it's a good compilation target.
