Re: [tied] IE "river" (4)

I am very surprised that no one has mentioned the other Germanic word for "river", namely *ahwo: (> Gothic ahwa, Old Norse a: (with descendants in modern Scandinavian languages), Old English e:a)! IE *akwa: or *ak^wa:, Latin aqua.

Would German fluss (< Gmc *flutiz, "a flowing") also be a candidate here?
