Minija (village) Minija or Mingė (in older texts also "Minė", often nicknamed "Lithuanian Venice") is a small fishermen's village in Šilutė District Municipality, Lithuania on Minija river, and is part of Nemunas Delta Regional Park. This village is unique in Lithuania as the main "road" is the river. Houses are situated on both banks and there is no bridge to connect them. The only way to get around is to use a boat. In 1997 it had 48 residents.
IJ (Amsterdam) The IJ (pronounced ] ; sometimes shown on old maps as "Y" or "Ye") is a body of water, formerly a bay, in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is known for being Amsterdam's waterfront. Its name is an obsolete Dutch word meaning "water", derived from the West Frisian word "ie" "stream, small river" (from Germanic *"ahwō", "water") and is cognate with Dutch Aa/Ee names for bodies of water. The name consists of the digraph "ij", which behaves like a single letter. Therefore, both letters are capitalized; cf. IJmuiden.
