Avon, in Celtic. Ay-von. That's why there are about 5 different avon rivers in England, because when the Saxons turned up and asked the Celts what they were called they said: "Avon".

In Greek (unable to use the Greek alphabet here) it is 'potami' hence hippopotamus which means river horse. Greek words become diminutives if 'aki' is added and 'potomaki' is 'little river - or stream.
