Vltava
English
Etymology
From Czech Vltava; cognate to Moldau, the German name for the river, and it is sometimes suggested that both words derive from Old High German wilt awa, wilt aha (“wild river”) (from Proto-Germanic *ahwō);[1] older texts have spellings such as Fuldaha (in 872), Wultha (1113), Wlitaua (1125). (However, compare Ltava.)
Proper noun

- A major river in the Czech Republic.
Translations
