What is the connection between the name of the river San and the town
of Sandomierz near its confluence with Vistula?
I was wondering whether that river name might once have been something
with *sand-, because
1) the word for "sand" beheves very strange in various IE languages

2) perhaps the Old European/Venetic suffix *-Vnt- is involved too.
