Stour and Blyth as English river-names
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 10:43 authored by Richard CoatesThe disputed etymology of the river-name Stour is revisited. It is suggested that an 'Old European' river-name was taken for an OE adjective, and that this adjective with its antonym represented in the river-name Blyth expressed the principal opposition in the classificatory system imposed on rivers in the Anglo-Saxon period.
