😂 Indeed ! But it come from Ietrebecca / Iatrebache - Ieter-beek : the rapid river.
But "River of Pus" is an accurate description of what happens to little rivers when a city develop on top.

@Lledelwin @ovid @Souristine yeah, I went online to find out how the name came about, but I like pus stream/river better than the actual meaning 🤣 And you're right about the fate of those rivers after city development 🫣😅
