Acarassus-Akarassos-Akrassus-Akarsu

 

There was a town...

here is the short story:

...Roman province of Lycia, the bishopric of Acarassus was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Myra,..t is listed in all the Notitiae Episcopatuum from the mid-7th century to about 1300. (wikipedia)

A Lycian town called Acrassus or Akrassos, it was located at the site of today's Elmali in Antalya, Turkey. 

When we look at the wiki page of Elmali we see:

...the area is watered by streams running off the mountains....

And now: 

Turkish word for streaming water is simply AKARSU (AK- to flow, SU is simply the water) and the Lycian Town was called Akarassu-s (-s Greek/Roman suffix). AKARSU is very similar to AKARASSU-s, isn't it? Not only in form but also in meaning. (Turkish Akarsu means river, too)

And there was another town in Lydia alles Acrassus. I think, it is the same word in a slightly different language. 

All infos by wiki. All interpretations by me.

How did you find them?
