The third Dnipro rapid, according to Konstantine Porphyrogenitus, had a name of '
Gelandri'. In Kartvelian '
geli' is '
wolf', while '
anter' in Megrelian is '
man'. So, '
gelandri' is a kind of werewolf. It's important since the Herodotus' tribe of 'Nevri', located up the Dnipro, had an ability to turn into wolves.
