River Crna

The Crna (also Crna Reka, _mk. audio|Mk-Crna Reka.ogg|Црна Река or Reka Crna) is river in the Republic of Macedonia. It runs though much of the south and west of the country.

The name means "black river" in Macedonian, a translation of its earlier Thracian name, "Erigon", meaning "black", akin to Greek "érebos" "darkness", Armenian "erek" "evening", Old Norse "røkkr" "darkness", Goth "riqis" "darkness", Skt "rájas" "night", Toch B "orkamo" "dark" [Katičic', Radoslav. "Ancient Languages of the Balkans". Paris: Mouton, 1976: 147] .
