The Northern Dvina ((ロシア語:Се́верная Двина́), ; (コミ語:Вы́нва / Výnva), (フィンランド語:Vienanjoki)) is a river in northern Russia flowing through the Vologda Oblast and Arkhangelsk Oblast into the Dvina Bay of the White Sea. Along with the Pechora River to the east, it drains most of Northwest Russia into the Arctic Ocean. It should not be confused with Western Dvina. The principal tributaries of the Northern Dvina are the Vychegda (right), the Vaga (left), and the Pinega (right). == Etymology == According to the Max Vasmer's ''Etymological Dictionary,'' the name of the river has been taken from the Western Dvina River. The toponym Dvina does not stem from a Uralic language; however, its origin is unclear. Possibly it is an Indo-European word which used to mean ''river'' or ''stream''. In the Komi language, the river is called Вы́нва / Výnva from ''vyn'' "power" and ''va'' "water, river" hence "powerful river". In Finnish the river is known as Vienanjoki or Vienajoki (joki=river), which means slowly running river and is the feminine form of ''Väinä,'' meaning the same. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northern Dvina River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
