eng Surveying 1965 'Dwariga River, River, District Montagu. Name is changed from Ghwarriega River to current game form. Mr Burger of the farm Talana is very definitely in his opinion that Dwariga is the correct game form according to judgment '.

afr Opmeting 1965 'Dwarigarivier, rivier, distrik Montagu. Naam is verander van Ghwarriegarivier na huidige spelvorm. Mnr Burger van die plaas Talana is baie beslis in sy mening dat Dwariga die korrekte spelvorm volgens uitspraak is'.

eng The name Ghwarriega - in the spelling 'Dwariga' on the section card of Montagu 1890 for this river, and as 'Dwarriega River' (spelling as determined by NPK) on topographical series 1972 sheet 3320 Ladismith. The river is a tributary of the Kingna River, southeast of Montagu, to the northern slopes of the Langeberg Mountains here. Ghwarriega - is composed of the Khoekhoense name for the Euclea Undulata, the Ghwarrie (see Ghwarrie (Forest) in th a * 417), plus -ga- (for Nama -Xa) means 'Many, abundant', viz. to the ghwarriebos. Very interesting that in the ordinary intercourse and on the spot the Ghwarrie - is still expressed as whip. The change of d (-) and g (-) is lived, cf. e.g. Douma and Goukamma in th a * 320. Dwarriega River is nothing but the 'river where there are many (-GA) ghwarrie bushes (exchange ruling. However, the pronunciation 'Ghwarrie' is also very active in this environment, Witness at AA O.A. 'Ghwarriehoek', on AC 'Ghwar- Riekloof', on CD 'Ghwarrieboskloof' E.A.

afr Die naam Ghwarriega- kom in die spelling 'Dwariga' voor op die Afdelingskaart van Montagu 1890 vir hierdie riviertjie, en as 'Dwarriega rivier' (spelling soos vasgestel deur NPK) op Topografiese reeks 1972 vel 3320 ladismith. Die riviertjie is ’n sytak van die Kingnarivier, suidoos van Montagu, aan die noordelike hange van die langeberge hier. Ghwarriega- is saamgestel uit die Khoekhoense naam vir die Euclea undulata, die ghwarrie (kyk GHWARRIE(BOS) in TH A* 417), plus -ga- (vir Nama -xa-) betekenende 'baie, volop aan', nl. aan die ghwarriebos. Baie interessant dat in die gewone omgang en ter plaatse die ghwarrie- nog uitgespreek word as dwarrie-. Die wisseling van d(-) en g(-) is gewoon, vgl. bv. DOU- KAMMA en GOUKAMMA in TH A* 320. Dwarriegarivier is niks anders nie as die 'Rivier waar daar baie (-ga-) ghwarriebosse (wisseluitspraak dwarrie-) voorkom'. Die uitspraak 'ghwarrie' is egter ook baie aktief in hierdie omgewing, getuie op AA o.a. 'Ghwarriehoek', op AC 'Ghwar- riekloof', op CD 'Ghwarrieboskloof' e.a.
