(gcide) | Anabranch \An"a*branch\, n. [Anastomosing + branch.]
A branch of a river that re["e]nters, or anastomoses with,
the main stream; also, less properly, a branch which loses
itself in sandy soil. [Australia]
[1913 Webster]
Such branches of a river as after separation reunite, I
would term anastomosing branches; or, if a word might
be coined, anabranches, and the islands they form
branch islands. --Col.
Jackson.

anabranch
(gcide) | Billabong \Bil"la*bong`\, n. [Native name.]
In Australia, a blind channel leading out from a river; --

also been locally applied to mere back-waters forming
stagnant pools and to certain water channels arising from a
source.
