Gonna(Kraal)
The place 'Gonnakraal' lies on the farm 'Murderkuyl' No. M. B. Q. 1-5. The idea took us that we can have a toponimic core group again, of which the one component is Dutch or Afrikaans and the other component Khoekhens. Topographically, the names come 'Gonnakraal' and 'murder kuil' well. Linguistically also. ǃ Gou- means (literally) 'throw in the dust' (Kr.R. 1969 NW 127), transmitter 'in the substance (late)'. It joins Nama ǀ Gonǃ Gon = strangled, kill, and the s. NW. Also assassination (Kr.-r. 74). The second member, - Na, maybe like Nama A- = 'Loch' (Kr.- 2), for the 'Kuyl' of 'murder skuyl'. It looks good that 'murder kuyl' can be the translation of 'gonna'. Now follow the interesting determination that strengthens our suspicion. V.S. Forbes 1965 PTSA 22 determines that the current Murder Kuil River, the eastern tributary of the Little Brak River, is the 'Conna' reached by Beutler's saying on October 10, 1752 (GM RZZ 3 335) - cf. Conna in th a * 291. Beutler's 'Conna' and our 'Gonna (Kraal)', as it looks, one and the same name, a Khoekhoense name of which murder pit / murder skuyl is the translation. On the corresponding topographical map 1973 Skin 3322 Oudtshoorn is 'Gonnakraal' entered as 'Gannakraal' who focuses on the right meaning of the name and rather reminds of the well-known Solsola Sp. Let us make it clear: This ganna (kraal) is incorrect entry of gonna (kraal) which means murder pit (kraal). But to return to this Gonnakraal. There is little doubt that the ground word here is gonna and not Ganna, d.w.s. That the place name is actually Gonnakraal. Now we know that the gonnabos frequent in the bushes of George, that this gonna have a species of the FAM. Thymmelaea Ceae is that his bass is soft and strong and readily used as queue, and also that beads have been beaten with gonna. With a name like gonna and in composition with -kraal in mind, it seems, notwithstanding the connection with 'murder-kuyl' and 'Murder Kuil River' that established us geographically and linguistically. Whether this Gonnakraal can be declared on CC as The gonna- (kraal) on DC, the one only west, the other just east of George, and that the meaning can also be here the 'bead made of the gonnabos'.
