Why is kawa used for rivers but san or yama for mountains?
Both on and kun yomi readings are used for mountain names but only kawa/gawa are used for rivers. Please explain.

river has other kun yomis too, that is called sen and
so on. mountain YAMA also has other kun yomi, which are sen and
so on. Those vary according to the combination with another kanji.
