Etymology
[edit]The name Saale comes from a Proto-Indo-European root *séles ‘marsh’, akin to Welsh hêl, heledd ‘river meadow’, Cornish heyl ‘estuary’, Greek hélos ‘marsh, meadow’
Sorry, what for a keltic welsh and cornish joke is this? The Saale river had the slavic name "Slava" (or Slawa), from sorbian "Solawa", that came from old germanic "Sol" or "Sal" ( = Salt), it is a combination from Salt and Lake. The region of Saale river in Thuringia is a important Salt-production Hotspot in the bronce age.
The "Slava" river is relativ to "Moldau" and "Moldova" River (earlier "Molda"), in germanic "Saale" and "Mulde". They are small rivers from Elbe River (slavs Lawa or modern Labe). And Sorbs are relativ to the white Serbs after slavian science of white Serbs. "Osława" is a derivat for eastern Slawa.
