      Maybe it’s a translation issue, we have

      • rivers
      • streams
      • creeks
      • Brooks and
      • runs

      Maybe they just have the 2 words so there’s information lost in translation?

        That’s a wildly incomplete list. I guess if you’re out east, that might feel like a full list, but if you’ve ever lived somewhere with arroyos, you’ve never experienced brooks or runs. I mean, short of Mel Brooks and having diarrhea.

        There’s an old joke about growing up in Phoenix: That one does not associate rivers or bridges with water.
