Anykšta
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Anykšta is a river of Anykščiai district municipality, Utena County, in northeastern Lithuania. It flows for 13.8 kilometres and has a basin area of 144.9 km2. The Anykšta is a left-bank tributary of the Šventoji, joining it in the town of Anykščiai. The name Anykšta is of unknown origin. According to one theory, it could have been derived from Proto-Indoeuropean root *an-/*en- related to water. It could also be cognate to Proto-Slavic *oněx ("their"), genitive plural case of *on/*ona/*ono ("he/she/it" respectively). Also, compare the name of the Šventoji river or the Saint river, what can besides indicate a territory mark.
