WEY, river
A pre-English river name duplicated in the 'Wye' and the Dorset 'Wey'. Celtic
origin is not provable; rather from some language spoken in England before
British. Ekwall (1928) derives it from the hypothetical Indo European root
'uegh-'='move', and postulates the only philologically convincing way of linking
the phonology of 'Wey' with that of 'Wye'.

Identified from Farnham, flowing from an area east of Petersfield; the two
tributaries to this system shown on the map could possibly be the River Slea and
Oakhanger Stream; the system is not simple.
