Soes, Soe(Rivier)
On the Topo Cadastral Series 1965 sheet 3420 Riversdale is spelled the river name 'Sos'. 'Grootzoe' lies on the farm Remhoogte to the Seriver River. His western tributary is called (after him) the 'little Seriver'. At the top of the Seread River, the river name comes as a second ingredient in the farm name 'Goeresoe' No SW. Q. 11-23 (on the topo-cadastral map spelled 'Goreesoe'). The Surprise is united with the Salt River on the farm 'Haasjes Drift' No SW. Q. 11-50. And that, we think, may give the answer about the meaning. In Old Cape, for a hurry by Witsen 1691, the same at Valentine 1705, and at Kolb 1708 with a suction flaster (Hott 294). We believe that this toa may be the same as the soe of the river name, and that he then occurs in the first part of the Dutch name 'hails Drift', also (appears shape and language) old. Nama knows a Tsoa-ru- that Kreenley Rest 1969 NW 384 etimologically connected with Nama Tsoa- = 'rear', because the hunter acknowledges this harbor (viz. 'Der Steinhase') to his bushy tail. Tsoa- Nama no suction patch, but it applies equally from other Cape dialects of Khoek D-, 1, M, R-, EA Kolb wrote off or heard wrong in his return. The Old Cape T and S- interacts each other Frequent, here in S.-OE and T-Oa. This Declaration must be considered very tentative.
