Right on the border between Spain and France (between Ochagavia and Larrau) there is a mount which is sacred for Basque people. It is called Pico d'Ori. And it has two pinnacles:
For those who doubt, here's another angle:

Indeed, they are two, and both have names. The smaller is called Orhy Chipia, with 'chipia' meaning 'small' in Basque.
How high are the chances that the fact that a mount has two pinnacles will be reflected in mount's name?
The point is that Basques themselves are not sure about the origin of mount's name, while in Kartvelian language 'ori' means exactly 'two'.
