Description

afr Die naam 'Koudouw' is op die genoemde kaart ingeskryf net bokant die pad tussen George en Oudtshoorn, noordwes van die Outeniekwapas. Regoor 'Koudouw', d.w.s. aan die suidekant van die pad, staan 'Hol- kloof,' wat op die ooreenstemmende Topo-kadastrale kaart 1969 korreleer met die plaasnaam 'Holle Kloof A'. Volgens die hipsometriese tinte op die Topografiese kaart is 'Koudouw' en 'Holkloof' albei van toepassing op dieselfde kloof. Indien dit wel so is, is die naam 'Holle Kloof’/'Hol- kloof' dalk ’n vertaling uit die Khoekhoense 'Koudouw'. Die slotlid -douw is soos Nama dao- = poort (Rust 1960 DNW 47), hier dan 'kloof'; die eerste lid, 'Kou-', is dalk soos Nama 11hoa- = holte (Rust 32); vir die wisseling van k en h vgl. HOAMUS in TH A** 555 en 5 C 3 by TH A* 44. Dan is 'Holkloof,' soos ons vermoed, ’n direkte vertaling van 'Koudouw'.
