afr Takkap' en 'Takkaprivier' kan dalk Afrikaanse name wees, maar ons dink nie so nie. Ons het baiemaal gevalle gehad waar oenskynlik Afrikaanse name eintlik volksetimologiese aanpassings van Khoekhoense name is, vgl. GRAPP1ES, KOORNHU1S. ens. Ons meen dat Takkapfri- vier) ook so 'n geval is. Die vermoede grand ons op toponimiese en topografiese verbande. Takkaprivier is 'n sytak van die Keisersrivier en vloei vanuit die suidweste in die rigting van die dorpie McGregor, distrik Robertson. Die Takkaprivier vloei aan die grens van die plaas 'De Rietvally A' nr 1904-26-1524. Ten noordweste van die Takkaprivier en aangrensend aan De Rietvally A is die plaas 'Rietvally' nr Wor. Q- 48-44, en verder noordweswaarts en aangrensend aan Rietvalley is die plaas 'De Rietvally' nr. Wor. Q. 48-46. Ons meen die name 'Takkap(rivier)' en 'Rietvally' is sowel taalkundig as topografies met mekaar vereenselwigbaar. 'Riet' is in Nama =Ta- (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 32) wat met die eerste lid van die naam Takkap ooreenstem; die palatale suigkonsonant word verteenwoordig deur die anlaut T-. Vir 'vallei' is in Ou-Kaaps opgeteken o.a. tkiia en tkaa (HOTT 490), dit stem ooreen met Nama Tga-b = 'Fläche' (Kr.-R. 97) wat goed aansluit by die slotlid '-kap' van 'Takkap' — vir wisseling van g en k en van b en p vgl. onderskeidelik TH A* 42 by 5 A 3 en 5 A 1. Indien dit alles juis is, dan het ons weer 'n geval waar 'n Khoekhoense naam as komponent van n naamkerngroep vertaald vir 'n ander komponent van dieselfde naamkerngroep voorkom. Dan is 'Rietvally' ’n vertaling van Khoekhoense 'Takkap'.
