Bergi
See also: bergi
English edit
Etymology edit
From the name of Bargu tribe (Barga Mongols), mentioned by Marco Polo, later put further northwards by cartographers into the area between Asia and America.
Before or after the Anian Strait was (most probably falsely) rapported found by L. Maldonado, the Bergi-name was moved by the cartographers to the eastern side of this strait, becoming a location in America (together with Anian and Tholm, also from Marco Polo).
On the Blaeu's map both Bargu and Bergi are depicted each on opposite sites of the Anian Strait. It can be explained as the result of copying from two different maps.
