* Aven-tia, 
*Savo ; to which should be added the ’ Ufens, and 
the Avens, a tributary of the Himella. 
But in the names of places we find 
Antemne and Antenne, 
Interamna repeatedly, and also a river Scultenna ; 
whence it is credible, that the word, in its contracted form of 
An or Ann, or En, with the termination Us, is often to be found, 
as, 
* Vom-an-us, 
° Amas-en-us, 
° Fibr-en-us, ete. etc. 
The full meaning of this latter termination may be proved 
from the river Gari-en-us in Norfolk, now called the Yare, ac- 
cording to the common English custom of changing the older g 
into y. 
To these should undoubtedly be added the celebrated 
7 Clit-umn-us, 
formed on the same principle as the Gallic Garumna (Garw 
Avon, Rough River). To these generic names of rivers may be 
' Now L’Avenza, near Luna. 
? Now Savone, in Campania, after the manner of the Gallic Savona now Saone ; 
originally it was Avon Ara, the Slow River, (Vide *Czesar’s description of it, Lib. i. 
cap. 12.) in time the specific name perished, the generic remained. 
3 Now Aufente, in Latium. 
* Now the Vomano in Picenum. 
5-In the Pomptine Marshes. 
® A tributary of the Liris; evidently the Beaver (Fiber) Stream. 
7 Still called Clitunno. That the Clit is a separable prefix is apparent from its 
being jomed with ernum also, a very common topographical affix, as Clit-ernum. 
The word is apparently synonymous with the Scotish and Welsh Clyde, which 
means in Cumrian “‘ warm,” cliid, a term equally applicable to the Italian and 
British rivers. 
* Flumen est Arar, quod per fines Aduorum et Sequanorum in Rhodanum influit incredibili 
lenitate, ita ut oculis in utram partem fluat judicari non possit—-Ara means “ slow.”
