Degere

Degere is a term primarily used in some regions of Ethiopia, specifically referring to a small, usually rounded, hill or mountain. The term is typically applied to landforms that are smaller than a full-sized mountain range but are still significant enough to be distinct topographical features. The "Degere" will often stand somewhat isolated from other hills, giving it a prominent presence in the surrounding landscape. The word's meaning can be closely linked to concepts such as prominence, singularity, and observable elevation within a relatively flat or gently sloping area. Its usage is heavily influenced by local geography and the specific dialects spoken in different areas.
