Cisiqua
Blommaert and Wiid 1937 VRV 18 19 At DG of Reenen's Zourivier OA: 'The Zourivier, the Cisiqua from J Hartogh's journal, flows in the Hoopvlei, about halfway between the present Bredasdorp and the Breede River ...', not confused with the Salt River at Cape Town etc. not. Hartogh says the Dutch name translates the inland name, but it is probably the case. Then it gives us a sign. The -qua is then too much as Ou-Cape -Ka for 'river', in Nama globalize toǃ (K) ab (Hott 430), and the Gisi- as 'salt', in Nama globalize to ǀ (k ) U-SI = 'salty, brackish', but it is uncertain.

Blommaert en Wiid 1937 VRV 18 19 by DG van Reenen se Zoutrivier o.a.: 'Die Zoutrivier, die Cisiqua uit J Hartogh se joernaal, vloei in die Hoopvlei, ongeveer halfweg tussen die teenswoordige Bredasdorp en die Breede- rivier...', nie te verwar met die Soutrivier by Kaapstad ens. nie. Hartogh se nie dat die Hollandse naam die inlandse naam vertaal nie, maar dit is waarskynlik tog die geval. Dan gee dit ons ’n aanknoping. Die -qua is dan te ver- staan as Ou-Kaaps -ka vir 'rivier', in Nama geglottaliseer tot ǃ(k)a-b (HOTT 430), en die Gisi- as 'sout', in Nama geglottaliseer tot ǀ(k)u-si = 'souterig, brak', maar dit is onseker.
