Anduin (Radagast said they had crossed it. At least, in the BBC version I think he did).

Baranduin?

Geography is not my strong point, whichever world I'm in.
Well, it's the right answer. The specific reference is this:

I saw him ride over seven streams
Over waters wide and grey...


From the lament for Boromir. The internet thinks it refers to seven rivers between Minas Tirith and Rivendell, but I think it probably refers to seven actual streams close to Tharbad (after which point he lost his horse anyway). The point is, we know the Nazgul also forced the crossing at Tharbad, so they must have crossed the same seven streams.

Nine over seven. And thread over to Pervinca.
