While many nymph names contain
the transparent root -rhoê (e.g., Kallirhoë, “lovely flowing”; Okyrhoë, “swift
flowing”), derivations from Indo-European roots describing the properties
of running water have been proposed for nymph names as diverse as Peirene,
Salmakis, Neda, Gargaphia, and Arethousa
