3. _With the ending el._ _Germany._ The ANGEL, three rivers (Baden, Westphalia, and Bohemia). _Russia._ The INGUL. Joins the Bug. 4. _With the ending st._ _Germany._ AGASTA,[31] 8th cent., now the AISS. From the Sansc. _pî_, to drink, also to give to drink, to water, Gr. πιω, πινω, we may get a form _pin_ in river-names. 1. _Germany._ The PEEN in Prussia. _Holstein._ The PINAU. Joins the Elbe. _Hungary._ The PINA. Joins the Pripet. The PINKA--here?[32] _Russia._ The PIANA. Joins the Volga. The PINE(GA). Joins the Dwina. _India._ The BINOA. Joins the Beas. _Greece._ PENEUS ant. Two rivers--here? 2. _With the ending en._ _Siberia._ The PENJINA. 3. _With the ending er._ _India._ The PENNAR. Madras. 4. _With the ending es._ _Russia._ The PENZA. Joins the Sura. From the above Sansc. _pi_ we may also derive the form _pid_. The only appellative I find, (if it can be called one), is the Ang.-Sax. _pidele_, a thin stream, given by Kemble in the glossary to the _Cod. Dip._; and hence the name PIDDLE, of several small streams. The only name I find in the simple form, and that uncertain, is the PINDUS of Greece. Then there is a form _peder_, which seems to be from a definite word, and not from the simple suffix _er_. 1. _England._ The PEDDER. Somerset. _Greece._ PYDARAS ant. Thrace. _India._ The PINDAR--here? 2. _With the ending en._ _Scotland._ The PITREN(ICK), a small stream in Lanarkshire. 3. _With the ending el._ _England._ The PETTERIL in Cumberland. 4. _With the ending et._ _England._ PÊDREDE (_Cod. Dip._) Now the PARRET. Also from the Sansc. root _pi_, to drink, to water, we get the form _bib_ or _pip_, as found in Lat. _bibo_, and in Sansc. _pipâsas_, toper. Here also in the simple form I only find one name--the BEUVE in France, Dep. Gironde. In the form _biber_ there are many names, particularly in Germany. Graff (_Sprachschatz_), seems to refer the word to _biber_, beaver, but Förstemann, with more reason, as I think, suggests a lost word for water or river. 1. _England._ The PEVER. Cheshire. _Scotland._ The PEFFER. Ross-shire. _France._ The BIÈVRE. Joins the Seine. _Germany._ BIBER(AHA), 7th cent. The BEVER, the BIBRA, the PEBR(ACH), and the BIBER(BACH). 2. _With the ending en._ _Germany._ BIVERAN, 8th cent., now the BEVER. _France._ The BEUVRON. Dep. Nièvre. Perhaps also from the root _pi_ we may derive the Ir. _buinn_, river, _bual_, _biol_, water. From the former Mr. Charnock derives the name of the Boyne, a derivation which I think suitable, even if we take the ancient form Buvinda, (_Zeuss, Gramm. Celt._,) which might be more properly Buvinna, as Gironde for Garonne in France. For the Bunaha in Germany, the Old Norse _buna_, scaturire, might also be suggested.
