Allied to the last word is the Eng. _race_, and the many cognate words in the Indo-European languages which have the sense of rapid motion, as Welsh _rhysu_, &c. 1. _Scotland._ The RASAY.

From the Gael. _garbh_, Welsh _garw_, violent, Armstrong derives the name of the Garonne and other rivers.[39] The root seems to be found in Sansc. _karv_ or _karp_, Latin _carpo_, &c., implying violent action. The Lat. _carpo_ is applied by the poets to denote rapid progress, as of a river, through a country. So likewise more metaphorically to the manner in which a bold and steep mountain rises from the valley. As also one of our own poets has said-- Behind the valley topmost Gargarus Stands up and _takes_ the morning-- Hence this root is found in the names of mountains as well as rivers--_e.g._, the Carpathians (Carpātes), and the Isle of Carpăthus, which "consists for the most part of bare mountains, rising to a central height of 4,000 feet, with a steep and inaccessible coast."[40] 1. _Scotland._ GARF water, a burn in Lanarkshire.

From the Sansc. _su_, to shoot forth, _sûs_, _sûtis_, rushing or darting, Gr. σουσις, cursus, I take to be the following. Among the derived words, the Gael. _sûth_, a billow, seems to be that which comes nearest to the sense required. 1. _Switzerland._ The SUSS. _Denmark._ The SUUS(AA). _Bohemia._ The SAZ(AWA). Joins the Moldau. _Portugal._ The SOUZA. _Siberia._ The SOS(VA), two rivers. _India._ The SUT(OODRA), or Sutledge--here?[42] 2. _With the ending en._ _France._ The SUZON. _Russia._ The SOSNA, two rivers. Probably to the above we may put a form _sest_, _sost_, found in the following. 1. _Germany._ The SOESTE. Oldenburg. _Italy._ SESSITES ant., now the Sesia. _Persia._ SOASTUS or SUASTUS ant. 2. _With the ending er._ _Russia._ The SESTRA. Gov. Moskow. _Germany._ The SOSTER(BACH). Joins the Lippe.
