Geography / river terms | | Polish term or phrase: buchta | "Płynąć po ***buchcie***, czyli zewnętrznym łuku koryta rzeki, w niedalekim najwyżej kilkunastometrowym oddaleniu od brzegu."
Znalazłem tylko "bight" w znaczeniu "zatoka", oczywiście nie chodzi też o buchtę w sensie "pętla liny". |

| | cut bank | Explanation:
też cutbank
W łuku tym brzeg rzeki prawy, zewnętrzny, stanowi tu na prawie milowej długości jedną "buchtę". Kto nie świadom znaczenia wyrazu "buchta", temu przypominamy, iż każda rzeka na zakręcie, silniejszy ma prąd przy brzegu zewnętrznym tego zakrętu. Brzeg ten jest podrywany prądem wody i nazywa się właśnie "buchtą".

A cut bank is the outside bank of a river channel in a curve. The river cuts away at the channel at this point creating a wider turn because the water flows faster...
