Kei
Even on S.A. series 1969 scale 1:50 000 (skin 3324 cc witelsbos) does not appear the gorge name. It is located on Joubertskraal, south of the Bavi- and southwest of the Great Winterhoek Mountains. Laid on the fact that this mountain area can be very cold in winter, as the name of Winterhoek Mountains suggest, we consider it very likely that this gorge name kei is equal to Namaǃ Kei [Ikhaij = cold (Rest 1960 DNW 34). So about 'Koukloof / Winter Gorge'

Selfs op S.A.-reeks 1969 skaal 1:50 000 (vel 3324 CC Witelsbos) kom die kloofnaam nie voor nie. Dit is geleë op Joubertskraal, suid van die Bavi- aans- en suidwestelik van die Groot Winterhoekberge. gelêt op die feit dat hierdie berggebied in die winter baie koud kan wees, soos ook die naam Winterhoekberge suggereer, ag ons dit heel waarskynlik dat hierdie kloofnaam Kei gelyk te stel is aan Nama ǃkei [Ikhaij = koud (Rust 1960 DNW 34). So ongeveer 'Kouekloof/Winterkloof'
