Name

Zgoša was first attested in written sources as Guscha in 1075 (and as Goscha in 1085, Sgusch in 1394, and Zguoch in 1406). The name derives from *Zgošča, created from a nominalized possessive adjective based on the personal name *Zgost. The name is believed to originally be a hydronym, *Zgošča (reka/voda) (literally, 'river/creek where Zgost lives'), shortened through ellipsis and the Upper Carniolan phonological development-šč- > -š-. Zgoša Creek, which flows through the settlement, is also referred to as Begunščica Creek today.[2]

gollark: No, at least in this field they're frequently made by large well-funded teams, but it just takes ages for support to be implemented anywhere.
gollark: I mean, apart from support, AVIF is not very good in terms of being supported by anything at all, but it's technologically superior.
gollark: Also, JPEG bad AVIF good.
gollark: I think palaiologos wanted to get around their self-muting by leaving and rejoining. So hi.
