Uruguay

The name of the Uruguay River deserves a special chapter, because there are several theses. Among the most accepted: "river of the snails", due to the uruguá ( Pomella megastoma) that was plentiful across its shores. [15] Another interpretation is "bird-river" ("the river of the uru ", via Charruan, urú being a common noun for any wild fowl). [16] [17]
