Euphrat (W3)

Das Wort "Euphrat" ist die griechische Version des altpersischen Originals "Ufrat". Auf Hebräisch und Aramäisch heißt es "Prâth" / "Froth", auf Armenisch: "Եփրատ" "Yeṗrat", auf Arabisch "Al-Furat" "الفرات", auf kurdisch "Firad" und auf alt-Assyrisch "Pu-rat-tu". Der sumerische Herrscher Gudea nannte den Fluss "Buranun". Die altpersische Version "Ufrat", von der die meisten anderen Bezeichnungen abgeleitet wurden, stammt vom dem zusammengesetzten Begriff "Huperethuua" ab, was "gut zu überqueren" bedeutet. Das Wort "Hu" heißt "gut" und "Peretu" "Furt".

Where did the name Europe come from?
...
Europa, Europe comes from the Phoenician word EROB, meaning where the sun set (west of Phoenicia, west of Bosphorus, Sea of Marmora). Erebo: I go under. Ereba: The land where I go under. Acu (pronounciatian asu) the land where I (the sun) are coming up: Ereb, ereba= europa Asu = Asie, Asia. Morningland-Eveningland, seen by the Phoeniciers That's why Bosphorus always has been the geographical border between Europe and Asia. Anatolie /= Asia-minor,which forms 97% of todays Turkey, comes from greeche language and means : east, east of what ? East of European Greece!

"MARMARA", ou "MARMORA", (Géog.) nom de quatre îles d'Asie dans "la mer de Marmora", à laquelle elles donnent le nom. La plus grande appellée "Marmara", a environ 12 lieues de circuit, & une ville de son nom. Ces quatre îles abondent en blé, en vin, en fruits, en coton, en pâturages, & en bestiaux. Elles sont situées au 38d & environ 35'. de lat. septent. & à l'orient d'été d'Héraclée.

"La mer de Marmora", ou "mer Blanche", est un grand golfe entre l'Hélespont & la mer Noire : c'est ce que les anciens appelloient "Propontide". (D. J.)

The "Sea of Marmara", also known as the "Sea of Marmora" or the "Marmara Sea" [dt. "Marmarameer"], is a small inland sea located entirely within the borders of Turkey. It connects the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea via the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, separating Turkey’s European and Asian sides. It has an area of 11,350 km2 (4,380 sq mi), and its dimensions are 280 km × 80 km (174 mi × 50 mi). Its greatest depth is 1,370 m (4,490 ft).

Name

The "Sea of Marmara" is named after the largest island on its south side, called "Marmara Island" because it is rich in "marble" (Greek "mármaron" = "marble").

In classical antiquity, it was known as the "Propontis", from the Greek words "pro" = "before" and "pontos" = "sea", reflecting the fact that the Ancient Greeks used to sail through it to reach the Black Sea, which they called "Pontos".

Tigris (W3)

The original Sumerian name was "Idigna" or "Idigina", probably from id e. "(i)gina" = "running water", which can be interpreted as "the swift river", contrasted to its neighbor, the Euphrates, whose leisurely pace caused it to deposit more silt and build up a higher bed than the Tigris.
