FWIW Aviron means Airplane in Hebrew.

Good to know.

And I see a good parallel as rowing over still water feels like flying.

Yeah even though it's completely coincidental - "avir" means air in Hebrew. There's also the similarity to Avion which I would guess is not coincidental.

My girlfriend speaks Hebrew so I'm well aware :)
