Etymology

The word Adur is believed to derive from the Celtic (Welsh) word for water, dwyr - no problem about it. I just want to point to Illyrian word adur meaning "water" - per etymology "guilty" for the name of the Adriatic Sea [1]. It seems that both dwyr and adur came from an older PIE word related to some hydrographical term, there are many hydrographical related toponyms with -adr- root in different IE languages in all Mediterranean region and wider.
