Vlie

Vlie

1. A seaway between Vlieland and Terschelling belonging to the province Frisia, the Netherlands, connecting the North Sea and the Wadden Sea
   • 1909, J. L. Motley, The Rise of the Dutch Republic, volume 1, page 42:

     The low lands along the Vlie, often threatened, at last sank in the waves.

Perhaps related to Latin Flevo (whence Dutch Flevoland); it has been suggested that both names ultimately derive from the same root as the modern Dutch verb vloeien (“to flow”).
