In Latin : Tamesa.
On the Co...<i><br />Thames = te + em + s. In Latin : Tamesa.<br />On the Continent there are rivers called Eem (Holland), Eems (border Holland-Germany), Amstel (The dam on the Amstel is now called Amsterdam) and Emme (Switzerland, compare: Emmenthal cheese). There is a major chance that it is an ancient German word for river (Van Dale Etymology Dictionary) There is a probable relation with ama (Latin), amei (ancient Greek) ‘(large) bucket (when fire)’, a word also used in the Middle Ages for a measure of capacity for liquid things [Dictionarium Latino-Gallicum (by Fr. Noel) Bruxelles, 1828].<br />Amnis: Latin (1) stream, broad and deep river, brook, also abstr. 'tendency' (2) water [Dictionarium Latino-Gallicum (by Fr. Noel) Bruxelles 1826].<br />Modern rivers with similar names include the Ems in Hampshire, the Emm Brook (which flows into the Loddon and thence into the Thames).<br /> <br />The Amstel, the Eems, Eem and the Thames have in common their sudden widening of the river, their estuaries, the river leads to or has a basin, a wide body of water. 'Ham' is an old English word for where the sea enters the land, an in depth elongated bay. The English have the odd reflex to believe that all words came from somewhere abroad. In this case, it is thought to be of Old Norse origin. But the word exists in Dutch as 'inham'. This means that the word is in fact 'shared' in all coastal German areas. Those words are related to the PIE word ‘A’ meaning water.<br />‘Te’ (aphonic ‘e’) has evolved in modern English into ‘at’ or ‘to’ according to the context and region (OED) [2]. South-east Old English preferred 'et'. <br />The original river name was Eems or Ames. Thames (Te-emse) referred to the riverbanks in the London area (aT Ems/Ames), as well as to that particular section of the river. The 's' at the end might be a declension or means 'water' [3].<br /><br />Typical for natural estuaries is that their banks are regularly flooded, especially at spring tide. The height of this tide is difficult to predict as it can be combined with a northerly wind and storm. Building a house close to the water is hazardous under these conditions. So people searched for a place that was safe enough. This place is found more upstream. At a certain point, the floods are reduced to a minimum. This place on the Thames river banks is the region of London. That river section was during the Bronze Age probably called 'Temse' , 'where the estuary (and its floods) begins'. Contractions of 'at-'+noun remained common in Old English (OED).</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797176847334818133.post-48654852899408390712009-12-21T09:01:19.237-08:002009-12-21T09:01:19.237-08:00I wonder what surprises Macca will have for us tom...I wonder what surprises Macca will have for us tomorrow night in London Town?follow the thames in a boat on the riverhttp://www.theo2.co.uk/location/getting-there.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797176847334818133.post-61968638459398148392009-12-21T08:54:09.166-08:002009-12-21T08:54:09.166-08:00yet, we somehow did...yet, we somehow did...Anonymoushttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glUFjjkYuAk&feature=relatednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797176847334818133.post-88001062184099206792009-12-21T08:49:00.044-08:002009-12-21T08:49:00.044-08:00....and ......George Formby....and ......George Formbyyou get your money's worthhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55-oNqY1yTUnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797176847334818133.post-54364415503929356872009-12-21T08:31:50.115-08:002009-12-21T08:31:50.115-08:00cast of supporting characters:
