Endemic (ecology) means exclusively native to a habitat: the white-clawed crayfish is not exclusive to the Bain, or even to the UK, surely? Wrong context.

Wondering why this write-up on the the river Bain (so far) lacks an etymology
The etymology of Bain is as follows: ''The derivation of the river name is from the Old Norse word "beinn" and the Old English pre 7th Century "brycg", meaning "bridge". There is some doubt about the exact meaning of "beinn", it is usually taken to mean "straight", but also in a transferred sense, can mean "handy" or "direct", and thence "helpful". The sense would easily apply to a convenient bridge across a river, of course. '' http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Bainbridge

Both wikis on the Germanic Lincolnshire river Bain, and likewise the selfsame Germanic-rooted Yorkshire river bain (curiously as I see it) lack etymologies because (whomever) would like folk to think their etymologies are something like 'ancient British'. Or maybe even moreso, mislead folk into mistakenly believing that these aforesaid river Bain etymologies are somehow linked to an Romance word for hotspring/baths/spa - bains found in French toponyms like: Amélie-les-Bains. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4B6E:5053:226:8FF:FEDC:FD74 (talk) 06:21, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
