They are not waterfalls, but rivers and bosphori.What would be therefore the meaning of two labels of these two waterfalls/rivers?
these are the names below, but I just can't rationalize being able to read the words straight as they are, too many are one letter different from others, or the same word as used elsewhere. I wish you luck though.
The name Dniester derives from Sarmatian dānu nazdya "the close river."[8] (The Dnieper, also of Sarmatian origin, derives from the opposite meaning, "the river on the far side".) Alternatively, according to Vasily Abaev Dniester would be a blend of Scythian dānu "river" and Thracian Ister, the previous name of the river, literally Dān-Ister (River Ister).[9] The Ancient Greek name of Dniester, Tyras (Τύρας), is from Scythian tūra, meaning "rapid."
The Crimean city of Kerch, gives its name to the strait. It has also been called the Straits of Yenikale after the Yeni-Kale fortress in Kerch. The Romans knew the strait as the Cimmerian Bosporus (Cimmerianus Bosporus) from its Greek name, the Cimmerian Strait (Κιμμέριος Βόσπορος, Kimmérios Bosporos), which honored the Cimmerians, nearby steppe nomads.[2] In ancient times the low-lying land near the Strait was known as the Maeotic Swamp.[3][4]
