EngkQf (MTLP: Efng+kQf; MLT: Engkøf), afmxkuo hiexntai nngxee Harnji thagzøx Engkoaf.

  1. Engkoaf (鶯歌, Yingge), an urban township in southwestern New Taipei City (Sinpag-chi).
  2. an old term meaning "eagle"
  3. 鶯哥/鸚哥 = parrot

On the northern side of Yingge lies a formation that went by the names of 鸚哥石 (Parrot Stone), 鷹哥石 (Eagle Brother Stone), and 鶯哥石 (Golden oriole or Warbler Brother Stone). The last stone is where the current name of the district derives from. The modern name "Yingge" (鶯歌) literally means "Warbler Song" in Chinese.
