Dag allemaal,

Logischer klinkt: Wolverivier, Wolvevliet, Wolvestroom, dit naar het
voorbeeld van bestaande namen als : Wulvestraat, Wolvegracht. Met de
nieuwe spelling moet het nu natuurlijk Wolvenrivier, Wolvenvliet,
Wolvenstroom, Wolvenstraat en Wolvengracht zijn, maar dat is dan een
andere kwestie.

Met vriendelijke groeten

Frans Vermeulen
