[edit]

It would be interesting to investigate the etymology of the name of this river. It strikes me the number of rivers in Galicia with names that begin with Tam- (like Tambre, Tamuxe and Támoga). Could these etymologies be related to the the name of the river Thames, which is thought to derive from a Celtic (Brythonic) expression that meant "dark waters"?

<<In fact, Temese does not come from Ancient Greek, but from Latin Tamesis, which itself comes from Celtic (Brythonic) Tamesa, perhaps meaning "the dark one".>> From the article "Thames" --62.6.139.10 14:09, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Iberdrola bots laid it really thickly on this one: Build a hydro damm and that reduces pollution and overextraction? Causation and all that. Tuvalkin (talk) 02:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
