Editing Inde (section)

==History==
Its name is of [[Celtic languages|Celtic]] origin: ''Inda''. The Inde has a counterpart, a "small Inde", in [[France]]: the [[Andelle]], which is a {{convert|55|km|mi|adj=on}} long river in the French département Seine-Maritime and whose original name was Indella.<br/> 
The suffix -ella is an example for Celtic river names comparing for instance Mosella (= [[Moselle]], i.e. "small Mosa (= [[Meuse|Maas]])"). For the name "Inde", the Indoeuropean stem *wed (= water) is supposed, like in words like Italian "onda" and French "onde" (= wave). {{Citation needed|date=October 2008}}

The Inde acquired historical importance when Emperor [[Louis the Pious]] founded the [[Kornelimünster Abbey]] monastery along one of its old courses in 815.
