Not at all: this river is called Arno. "Arne" is the name of a small river, perhaps more like a tidal creek, which flowed around the medieval settlement of Middelburg, (nowadays the capital of Zeeland province in the Netherlands), thus providing it with an entrance to Sea via the Scheldt river and allowing the towns thriving maritime commerce during the Dutch Golden Age. The village called Arnemuiden (lit."mouth of the Arne) still reminds us of the ancient river, which silted up in mid 16th century to be replaced by a new shipping channel. Only a few stretches of the old riverbed remain.
