Old Sumrë names for bodies of water

A common element for names for bodies of water, especially large rivers who’s names are among the oldest, is to contain the cluster sk or the sequence eekȯ, both of which descend from the Proto-Sumro-Naukl root *skəqwo- (“water”) which hadn’t survived into Old Sumrë or even Proto-Sumric. Other common endings are -uhte for rivers, -ło for seas and -ḿ for lakes. River names in the genitive or delative can be compounded with tšgau to mean “stony or shallow stretch of the River X”.

The definition of each name will be included in brackets but in many cases the meaning has been long lost to Old Sumrë speaker’s. So some definitions will be purely etymological. Check each link for etymological detail.
