wadi
Wadi ((アラビア語:وادي) ') is the Arabic term traditionally referring to a valley. In some instances, it may refer to a dry (ephemeral) riverbed that contains water only during times of heavy rain or simply an intermittent stream.
==Etymology ==
The term ' is very widely found in Arabic toponyms.
Some Spanish toponyms are derived from Andalusian Arabic where ' was used to mean a permanent river, for example: Guadalcanal from ''wādī al-Qanal'' = "river of refreshment stalls", Guadalajara from ''wādī al-hidjārah'' = "river of stones",〔(Official municipal tourist guide, p.5. ) Retrieved 17 August 2013.〕 or Guadalquivir from ''al-wādī al-kabīr'' = "the great river". Seasonal streams, frequent in south-east Spain, are called ''rambla'' instead.
In the Maghreb, the term wadi (''wad'' in Maghrebi Arabic, sometimes transcribed ''Oued'') is applied to all rivers including regular ones.
