What does KOPJE mean in Scrabble?
noun
South African
A small, isolated hill or rocky outcrop rising abruptly from the surrounding flat land, especially in southern Africa.
A kopje often stands alone on an otherwise level plain, formed from harder rock that resisted erosion long after the softer ground around it wore away, and its rocky slopes have long provided shelter and lookout points for animals, farmers and, historically, soldiers. The word came into English from Afrikaans, where it literally means "little head".
