From (South African) Dutch kopje, diminutive of kop (“head”).

Used in a sentence

  • In one spot only was the solemn monotony of the plain broken. Near the center a small solitary “kopje” rose. Alone it lay there, a heap of round ironstones piled one upon the other, as over some giant’s grave.
  • We selected a lichenous kopje perhaps fifteen yards away, and landed neatly on its summit one after the other.
  • It was nearly noon when he reached the great bowlder at the top of which terminated the secret passage to the pits beneath the city. Like a cat he scaled the precipitous sides of the frowning granite kopje.
