From the root _mî_, to flow, come also Sansc. _mîras_, Lat. _mare_, Goth. _marei_, Ang.-Sax. _mêr_, Germ. _meer_, Welsh _mar_, _mor_, Gael. and Ir. _muir_, Slav. _morie_, &c., sea or lake. I should be more inclined however to derive most of the following from the cognate Sansc. _mærj_, to wash, to water, Lat. _mergo_, &c. Also, the Celtic _murg_, in the more definite sense of a morass, may come in for some of the forms. 1. _France._ The MORGE. Dep. Isère. _Germany._ MARUS (Tacitus). The MARCH, Slav. MOR(AVA). MUORA, 8th cent. The MUHR. MURRA, 10th cent. The MURR. _Belgium._ MURGA, 7th cent. The MURG. The MARK. Joins the Scheldt. _Switzerland._ The MURG. Cant. Thurgau. _Sardinia._ The MORA. Div.

The MURZ. _Dacia._ MARISUS ant. The MAROSCH. _Phrygia._ MARSYAS ant. Another form of Sansc. _marj_, to wet, to wash, is _masj_, whence I take the following. _Ireland._ MASK, a lake in Connaught. _Russia._ The MOSK(VA), by Moscow, to which it gives the name. From the Sanscrit _vag_ or _vah_, to move, comes _vahas_, course, flux, current, cognate with which are Goth. _wegs_, Germ. _woge_, Eng. _wave_, &c. An allied Celtic word is found as the ending of many British river-names, as the Conway, the Medway, the Muthvey, the Elwy, &c. Hence I take to be the following, in the sense of water or river. 1. _England._ The WEY. Dorset. The WEY. Surrey. _Hungary._ The WAAG. Joins the Danube. _Russia._ The VAGA. Joins the Dwina. The VAGAI and the VAKH in Siberia. _India._ The VAYAH. Madras.
