	Liguria
		Etymology: Tentatively, the hydronym could be analyzed as gwo(u)-akw-ia 'water of the cows' (i.e., where the cows pass the river), from a word 'cow' derived from the IE root gwou- 'cattle', and a word meaning 'water' and deriving from the IE root *akwa- 'water'.
		The hydronym is a compound of porco- 'furrow' or 'a kind of fish' and bera- 'to carry'.
		Etymology: According to Pokorny, the hydronym derives from the IE root *(s)ten- 'to groan', from the sound of the water.

	Mažoji Lietuva
		According to K.Kuravinis, the start for the name of Lithuania was given by the hydronym Lietáuka, the right tribute of the river Nėris, which rises from the moors with the same name (Lietauka).
		According to K.Kuzvainis, in the flow of time the hydronym Lietavà (which also became an etnonym) was started to be used for the whole locality.
		According to this hypothesis the name of Lithuania has risen not out of a hydronym, but out of a common noun lietā (*leita), which meant ‘army, military force’ (Lithuanians were a militant nation!).

	ETHNOGENESIS OF THE SLAVS IN THE LIGHT OF LINGUISTIC STUDIES
		To key question is concerned with processes of differentiation of the proto-Slav dialect from the common Indo- European language and the earliest contacts of proto-Slavs with other Indo-Europeans peoples.
		Given that the majority of names of major rivers found in the areas at present settled by Slavs are not directly Slavic in origin the value of hydronymic material is much less appreciated than in the past.
		Similarly, ethnonyms cited in early historical sources largely fail to provide data on the linguistic affiliation of peoples defined those names.

	Cispadana
		The hydronym should have been an appellative during the Celtic period, because there are other similar placenames in the Po valley which are not mentioned in the ancient sources.
		Alternatively it could be a Ligurian name derived from the IE root bher- 'to boil, swell, get high' that yielded especially hydronyms* in the Celtic domain, or - since it is not a hydronym - even from *bherem- 'to stick out, edge, hem'.
		Etymology: Probably this hydronym took its name from that of the silicic cutter skl-tro-, which is from the IE root skel- 'to cut', through an ending *-na.

		In his published works forming the base of his philologhiae doctor habilitatus dissertation, the author investigates several aspects of the present-day toponymy, such as its lexicalsemantic stock, its derivational structure, as well as the principles of its regulation.
		The main task of Chapter II The etymological stratigraphy of the toponymy of the Prut-Dniester area is to identify the main toponymic strata as related to the degree of their remoteness in time and their belonging to a given language.
		As those forming the most ancient stratum are regarded the inherited hydronyms of geto-dacian origin, such as Dunăre, Nistru, Prut etc. According to the data of ancient sources, their original forms were identified, the names receiving new etymological interpretations.

		I think the etymology related to ’slovo’ -‘word’ (and only later, possibly: glorifying God, as well as the hydronym theory)is more plausible since the opposite meaning: ‘немец,’ currently ‘German’ but initially meaning ‘dumb’, was used in the ancient times, as I understand, to describe people in all other non-Slavic tribes.
		I wouldn’t discard the hydronym theory so readily if I were you.
		River names were of primary importance to the tribes that passed through that region, one better known example would be the Celtic Tuatha de Danaan - Danu is a goddess yes, but c.f.

		Later on, Russian specialists in toponymics used Bukharan kām for etymologizing käm, a widespread hydronymical element in Altai and Tuva, for the last survey see Murzaev, 1984, p.
		Thus the first hydronym, Šāfur-kām stands apart from all the others and needs separate discussion.
		It is, however, risky to state that the hydronyms in question won their names by the hand Bukharan jokers, who liked a somewhat humorous contrast of 'big canal' and 'small pit'.

		Bandua is a deity associated with deals and oaths (an interpretation defended by Holder and his followers on account of its etymology based on the root *bendh, meaning "to bind or fasten").

		The author concentrates on the analysis of microstructure relations, occurring in processing of hydronymical material of a large area.
		The process of standardisation of hydronyms began after the publication of codification manuals and establishing of codification centres.
		The development of hydronyms is divided into three periods: the period before standardisation with non-standardised names of streams (from 13th century to the 1950’s); the period of standardisation with standardised names of streams in cartographic hydrographic works (from the beginning of the 1950’s to the present time); the epoch of cadastral maps.
