Verimont

Verimont: adjective. The word verimont is used to describe something very mountainous, for example Nepal or Austria. There are multiple ways to determine whether an area is verimont, as opposed to not so mountainous and not mountainous at all. One of these is simply counting up the number of mountains in a given area, but that is largely deemed a very lazy method by most geographers. The preferred method of measuring how verimont an area is is dividing the number of mountains by the extent of the area itself. The only weakness of such definition is that a number of geographers don't know the difference between a mountain and a hill.
