2. _With the ending en = Celtic auwon, avon, abhain, amhain, Lat. amnis._ _England._ The AVON and EVAN. Many rivers in England, Scotland, and Wales. _Scotland._ The AMON, near Edinburgh, also, but less correctly, called the ALMOND. _France._ The AVEN. Dep. Finistère. _Germany._ AMANA, 8th cent., now the OHM. _Hindostan._ HYPANIS ant., now the Sutledge--here? _Asia Minor._ EVENUS ant., now the Sandarli--here? AMNIAS ant., probably here. _Syria._ ABANA ant., now the Barrada--here? 3. _With the ending er._ _France._ The AVRE. Dep. Eure. _Germany._ IVARUS, 2nd cent., now the Salzach.

The IPS. _Portugal._ The AVIZ. _Sicily._ HYPSAS ant., now the Belici. _Illyria._ APSUS ant., now the Beratinos. A related form to No. 2 of the above group I take to be _ain_ = Manx _aon_ for _avon_. _England._ The AUNE, Devonshire. The EHEN, Cumberland. The INNEY, Cornwall. _Germany._ The AENUS of Tacitus, now the INN. The IHNA, Prussia. _Greece._ OENUS ant.--here? And I place here also a form _annas_, which I take to be = Sansc. _abnas_, Latin _amnis_. _India._ The ANNAS. Gwalior. _Germany._ ANISA, 8th cent. The ENS in Austria. _Piedmont._ The ANZA. Joins the Tosa. In the other form _ah_, _ach_, there may be more admixture of the German element. But the English names, I take it, are all Celtic. The form _ock_ comes nearest to the obs. Gael. _oich_. 1. _England._ The OCK, Berks. The OKE, Devon. _Scotland._ The OICH, river and lake. The AWE, Argyle. The EYE, Berwicks. _France._ The AA. Dep.

Sutherland. _Germany._ AQUILA, 8th cent., now the EICHEL. With the Sanscrit root _ab_ or _ap_ is to be connected Sanscrit _ambu_, _ambhas_, water, whence Latin _imber_ and Gr. ὄμβρος. If the Abus of Ptolemy was the name of the river Humber, it contains the oldest and simplest form of the root. But the river is called the Humbre in the earliest Ang.-Sax. records. I class in this group also the forms in _am_ and _em_.
