Homeric Kabes (Cabesus), Cabesians (allies of the Trojans) - and the rivers Kovaš, Kaboža, Kavoža

Last week I visited a one more Homeric place on the banks of the Gulf of Finland (the Large Hellespont), and bathed in the river of Kovaš, at its estuary and a gorgeous dune spit at the confluence with the Koporje Bay.
“…had just arrived/ from Cabesus” (Iliad 13.363-364)
In the Mediterranean world, the only Kabes (Gabes) is the Lesser Sirte bay in Tunisia - and from there no "Cabesian" could "immediately" come to assist the "Trojans" in Schliemann's "Troy" in Asia Minor, when the Achaeans would have attacked her there.

Compare to:
- Kovaši (Kovaš, Kovaša), Fin. Kava-joki (most likely Homeric Kabes) is a river on which the modern city of Sosnovy Bor stands, ~20 km east from the mouth of the river Sista (possible Homeric Caystrius, Cyster, of which a one more cognate is the river of Sestra near St.Petersburg); ~40 km east from the mouth of the river Luga, Lauka (the Homeric Lycia, the main ally of the Trojans); ~60 km from the mouth of the river Narova (Homeric Xanth-Scamander: https://new-etymology.livejournal.com/381082.html );
- Koboža (Kaboža) - almost the same name river to the east of Veliky Novgorod, the left tributary of the river Mologa, a tributary of Volga;
- Kavoža - almost the same name river in Karelia;
- Kavastu - the village at the mouth of Emajõgi ('Mother river') in South Estonia, at its entrance into Peipus lake (Kavastu might be also the old name of Emajõgi).
Similarly, the river of Vtroya, Utroya / Söömoja, a tributary of the Narova river in the region of Skamja (Homer's Simoent and Skamander rivers) has repeating river names of the same namenearby: Utroya near Pskov and Udria west of Narva.
