Bondulagh (bɒndjuːlæ; Te Rova Lainer: Kote Honga Pokapo [kotɛ hoŋɑ po'kɑpo], lit. "central confluence") is the third-most populous city in South Neviersia and is the regional capital and largest city of Lainerovan Kadlara. As of 2024, the city has an estimated population of 1,654,000 and a wider metropolitan population of 2,339,000.
Etymology
The name Bondulagh is the short-form of the Te Lainer Sortoma tribe "Bondulainer", who has inhabited the region for approximately 29,000 years. The origins behind the prefix "Bondu" are disputed between the old Te Rova Lainer word for bush ("bondhun"), possibly referring to the Konuere bushes of the city, or the purple jacarandas, which the native inhabitants called "bondiu". The official Te Rova Lainer name of the city, Kote Honga Pokapo, translates to "central confluence", referring to the confluence near the city centre where the River Wyvern and River Montago meet.
