This page lists rivers and the adjectives that mean "of or pertaining to" those rivers.
When it is more complete, it might be moved into the Appendix namespace. (It should be split into separate English, German, and French lists before such a move. The current side-by-side format is used only because it makes it easier to see which languages are 'missing' adjectives.)
NIR = not in reference to the river
