Aude (river) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Aude (river)
The Aude River (Latin ''Atax'') is a river of southern France that is long.〔 Its source is in the Pyrenees mountains then runs to Carcassonne and finally reaches the Mediterranean Sea near Narbonne. The river is navigable by raft or canoe for nearly all of its length. It is registered as essential to the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The river gave its name to the Aude ''department''. ==Etymology== In antiquity, the ''Aude'' was called ''Atax'' by the Romans.〔Guy Barruol, ''The Pre-Roman people of the South-east of Gaul: Historical Geographic Study'', Paris, Éd. de Boccard, 1969, Archaelogical Review of Narbonne (RAN), Supplement 1. p. 387. 〕 Some authors in antiquity called the river ''Narbôn'' (e.g. Polybius). In 1342 the Roussillon Cartulary of Alart called it the ''Auda'' or the ''Ribera d'Aude''.〔Jacques Amiel, ''L'AUDE. Fleuve du pays cathare'', Les presses du Languedoc, Montpellier, 1999 ISBN 978-2859982065, p. 21. 〕 In the Middle Ages the terms ''Adice'', again ''Atax'', ''Fluvium Atacis'', ''Flumine Atace'', ''Flumen Ataze'', and ''Juxta Aditum fluvium'' were also used to designate the Aude.〔 In all likelihood the current name comes from a gradual evolution of ''Atax'' given by Strabo (in his ''Geography'', Book IV), a word borrowed from the Gallic term ''atacos'' meaning "spirited" or "very fast".〔(The etymology of the word ''Aude'' ) on the arbre-celtique.com website 〕
