Thanks for pointing that out. That's very interesting that it can mean specifically the Nile, as well.
afon
river - Welsh
That's where the River Avon gets its name. So, in Welsh it would be redundant!

Interesting, I was just reading Genesis 41 this morning:
ויהי מקץ שנתים ימים ופרעה חלם והנה עמד על היאר
Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile. Genesis 41:1
By the way היאר can be a river or The River, i.e., The Nile.
ὁ ποταμός
River - Greek
