About
Bilky is a large village near Irshava in Ukraine's Zakarpattia Oblast. It lies in the Borzhava basin at the foot of the Carpathians.
Notes
This is Bilky in the Borzhava valley in Zakarpattia, not a namesake elsewhere in Ukraine. No settled French form was independently established. Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of press frequency. Independent French reference attestation is limited; the main is an editorial choice.
