Gloucester. The STORT. Essex. _Germany._ The UNSTRUT Förstemann places here, as far as the ending _strut_ is concerned. From the Sanscrit root _su_, liquere, come Sansc. _sava_, water, Old High German _sou_, Lat. _succus_, moisture, Gael. _sûgh_, a wave, &c.; (on the apparent resemblance between Sansc. _sava_, water and Goth. _saivs_, sea, Diefenbach observes, we must not build). Hence I take to be the following; but a word very liable to intermix is Gael. _sogh_, tranquil; and where the character of stillness is very marked, I have taken them under that head. 1. _England._ The SOW.

In the Sanscrit _mih_, to flow, to pour, Old Norse _mîga_, scaturire, Anglo-Saxon _migan_, _mihan_, to water, Sansc. _maighas_, rain, Old Norse _mîgandi_, a torrent--("unde," says Haldorsen, "nomina propria multorum torrentium"), Obs. Gael. and Ir. _machd_, a wave, I find the root of the following. Most of the names are no doubt from the Celtic, though the traces of the root are more faint in that tongue than in the Teutonic. This I take to be the word, which in the forms _ma_, and _man_ or _men_, forms the ending of several river-names. 1. _Scotland._ The MAY.
