Line 39:
According to the definitions established in 1832, the northern boundary between the Bishlan and the Filari Sea is Sterm Cape, in Novenum on the western shore, and Uchelpol Cape on the eastern shore, while the southern boundary is where the Bishlan connects to the estuary of the Ider River at Cavenhelm on the eastern shore and Maroness on the western shore.
==Etymology==
The local name Aberbish derives from the [[Wikipedia:Breton language|Calth]] placename element Aber, which means "confluence of waters" or "rivermouth". Since antiquity, the Ider River was known as the Bish River and remains so in Calth today, though since the 17th century the river has been known internationally as the Ider River.
