context_page_description: The river Ĳssel, sometimes called Gelderse Ĳssel to avoid confusion with the Hollandse Ĳssel, is the branch of the Rhine in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and Overĳssel. The Romans knew the river as Isala. The Ĳssel flows from Westervoort, east of the city of Arnhem, until it discharges into the Ĳsselmeer. The River Ĳssel is one of the three major distributary branches into which the Rhine divides shortly after crossing the German-Dutch border.
  The name includes the digraph ĳ, which behaves like a single letter in Dutch orthography—this explains why both letters appear capitalized.
