1. _Germany._ ALBIS, 1st cent. The ELBE. Also the ALB in Baden, and the ALF in Pomerania. ALPIS (Herodotus), perhaps the Inn. ALAPA, 8th cent., now the Wölpe. The AUPE.

Joins the Don. Förstemann seems to me to be right in his conjecture that the forms _alis_, _els_, _ils_, are also extensions of the root _al_, _el_, _il_. We see the same form in Gr. ἑλισσω, an extension of ἑιλω, and having just the same meaning of verso, volvo. Indeed I think that this word, which we find specially applied to rivers, is the one most concerned in the following names, two of which, it will be seen moreover, belong to Greece. Hence may perhaps be derived the name of the Elysii, (wanderers?) a German tribe mentioned in Tacitus. And through them, of many names of men, as the Saxon Alusa and Elesa, down to our own family names Alice and Ellice.[27] 1. _France._ The ALISE. _Germany._ ELZA, 10th cent., now the ELZ.
