Laze pri Dolskem (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈlaːzɛ pɾi ˈdoːu̯skɛm/ or in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈlaːzɛ pɾi ˈdoːlskɛm/) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Dol pri Ljubljani in the eastern Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2] The settlement includes the hamlet of Slapnica to the east and the isolated Rogač farm above the main settlement.[3]

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Laze to Laze pri Dolskem in 1953.[4] The name Laze is derived from the common noun laz 'cleared area in or next to a forest overgrown with grass'. This was originally a masculine plural noun (preserved in some other toponyms such as Dolenji Lazi), but it became a feminine plural noun like similar toponyms (e.g., Laze, Zgornje Laže, etc.) due to the ambiguous accusative ending in -e.[5]

History

At the beginning of the 20th century, a grave dating from the Migration Period was found near the Hribar house, testifying to early settlement in the area. A former mill along Slapnica Creek was torn down between the two world wars. The former inn in Laze pri Dolskem closed in 1964.[3]
