That's possible, though if there were a significant confluence or a large distance between the two, it'd be more so. If the two sections have different names, it's surely simply because the Colymar and the Malani (or various clans thereof) can't agree on what to call the whole thing (or much else, come to that).
If this is the case, then the Arfritha Proper is pretty small indeed, especially as it's seasonal above Redbird.

It does indeed, 'Isis', whence the name of their 'B boat'. I think the Mississippi/Missouri also does something vaguely similar, doesn't it? (Though that's applying a pettyfogging geographer's definition of "same river".) Then again, the Thames does wander across about half of southern England, not just a couple of dozen miles of the Thunder Hills...

I can understand that, but if one is going to do so _anyway_, it's surely preferable to be explicit about it.

I'm not sure if what you have here is a persecution complex or just several 'Proud' ticks, Peter. ;-)
[So far as I know, Joerg and I are still the leading contenders in the "biggest thumpers on the list" category...]
