Sorry I forget to point out that the key of the above water-names
semantism is Lith. River Name Ma'rgupis because this is a compound:
Ma'rg-upis where -upis means water (in Romanian would be Apa-Murg&)
so this compound really indicates that ma'rg- here represent the
specific property of that water (more specifically his colour)

Also for the other Water Names the reference to the -water 'was
removed' see Lith Ma'rgis <-> Daco-Moesian Margus

Like in Romanian : Calul-Murg > Murgul > Murgule
