The derivation of the river name Endyrenos, attested in a Greek inscription, is proposed to be from a Lycian *endur- going back to PIE *en dhur ‚indoors‘. The name of the river Idyros and the wind associated with it in Greek texts could be of the same origin, via an attested Lydian sound develo-pment *ẽ- > i-. And the „forest bowl“, out of which the river and the wind emerge through a narrow gorge, thus offers an explanation for this name. A third derivation of *endur- may be the personal name Ñturiga attested in a Lycian inscription (with wrong word division), showing aphaeresis.
