@kulprit perloid interestingly, when I saw the word (for the first time just now) I immediately understood: because Frech 'couler' (verb) means to run, stream (said of a fluid like water), coulee must mean something like "where it streams". I'll bet you would not (strictly) call a dry valley 'coulee'. https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/couler But how do you pronounce it over there? When I see a french word (or name!) my brain automatically pronouces it like French - which I know in the US is mostly not correct :)
