EspañolRIVER CRNA
(Redirected from Reka Crna)
'The River Crna' or 'Crna Reka' () or 'Reka Crna' literally means ''Black River'' in Macedonian, with similar varieties in other Slavic languages.
The river runs though much of southern and western Macedonia.
The river's name is a Slavic 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"[1].
