The Sansc. _car_, to move, Lat. _curro_, like some other words of the same sort, branches out into two different meanings--that of going fast, and that of going round. Hence the river-names from this root have in some cases the sense of rapidity, and in others of tortuousness; and these two senses are somewhat at variance with each other, because tortuousness is more generally connected with slowness. Separating the two meanings as well as I can, I bring in the following here. 1. _Scotland._ The GARRY. Perthshire. The YARROW. Selkirkshire. 2. _With the ending en._ _England._ GARRHUENUS ant., now the YARE. _France._ GARUMNA or GARUNNA ant. The GARONNE. The GIRON. Joins the Garonne. _Greece._ GERANIUS ant., and GERON ant., two rivers of Elis, according to Strabo. 3. _With the ending es = Sansc. caras, swift, Lat. cursus, &c._ _France._ The GERS. Joins the Garonne. CHARES ant., now the CHIERS. _Germany._ The KERSCH. Joins the Neckar. _Italy._ The GARZA, by Brescia. _Hungary._ GERĂSUS ant., now the KOROS. _Asia Minor._ The CARESUS of Homer in the plain of Troy. _Syria._ CERSUS ant., now the Merkez. There appear to be several words in which the sense of violence or rapidity is brought out by the preposition _pra_, _pro_, _fro_, in composition with a verb. Thus the Welsh _ffre-uo_, to gush, whence _ffrau_, a torrent, seems to correspond with the Sansc. _pra-i_, Lat. _præ-eo_, &c. Or perhaps we should take a verb with a stronger sense, say _yu_, to gush, and presume a Sansc. _pra-yu_ = Welsh _ffre-uo_. In the Albanian πρό, a torrent, corresponding with Welsh _ffrau_, there seems, however, no trace of a verb. 1. _Wales._ The FRAW, by Aberfraw. 2. _With the ending en._ _Scotland._ The FROON. Falls into L. Lomond. _Russia._ The PRONIA. The Welsh _ffrydio_, to stream, to gush, appears to be formed similarly from the preposition _fra_, joined with the verb _eddu_, to press on, to go, corresponding with Sansc. _it_, Latin _ito_, &c. Hence it would correspond with a Sansc. _pra-it_, Lat. _præ-ito_, &c. From the verb comes the appellative _ffrwd_, a torrent, corresponding with the Bohem. _praud_, of the same meaning. _Scotland._ The FORTH. Co. Stirling. _Danub. Prov._ PORATA (Herodotus). The PRUTH. _Russia._ The PORT(VA). Gov. Kaluga. I also bring in here, as much suggestively as determinately, the following. _Sansc. pra-pat, Lat. præ-peto, &c., to rush forth._ _Russ. Pol._ The PRIPET. Joins the Dnieper. _Bulgaria._ The PRAVADI. Falls into the Black Sea. _Sansc. pra-cal, to rush forth, pra and cal, p. 112._ _Prussia._ The PREGEL. Enters the Frische-Haff. _Sansc. pra-li, Lat. pro-luo, &c., to overflow._ _India._ The PURALLY.
