In the book "Local Adaptation Practices in Response to Climate Change in the Bilate River Basin, Southern Ethiopia", he used these two names, Dimtu and Bilate Tena, in a similar way.
== History == David Buxton stated in his book that Dimtu was the name of a market, and it was near the Bilate River. As unwritten source reveals that the name was derived from the word "Dantto", which in Wolaytta language means the junction. It was named so because the market is located, where Bilate River and the "Qocuwaa" river, which is from Dimtu, meet.
