Zungah

PNC decides to spell 'Kwa-Zunga', and as such, the Swartkops River is also indicated to his association with the Elands River on the topographical series 1973 sheet 3324 Port Elizabeth and on the relevant maps on scale 1:50 000. The river Now a prefix for locality from Xhosa, the Kwa, apparently because it is summarized from Xhosa as a name. The river name Kwa- Zunga clearly includes the farm name Zungah, as given on the section 1890, a farm later divided into (the old) Zungah, and south of it, Zungah No. 2, as enrolled at the corresponding Topo-Kaa Drader Card 1969, located on either side of the Swartkops River, at its bolope, now the River Kwa-Zunga. To put it simpler: Swartkops River's name is from its origin until his confluence with the Elands River changes to Kwa-Zunga, with a prefix from Xhosa. Kwa- Zunga gets his name from the old farm Zungah where he originated. But the name is Khoekhens. Other spellings for the place Zungah are cartographically determined as 'tcum- mumqua' and 't'numqua'. These names are discussed with reservations in th ** 822-3 nav. Pettman's efforts. There they are considered mountain peaks, OA for the current cockscomb, Craggy Mt. and Four Sisters (cf Cockscomb himself also became farm names . Now we notice that the Bolope of the Swartkops River, ie from its origin to where he receives the Elands River only west of Uitenhage, gets a new name, Kwa-Zunga, from the farm Zungah. Swartkops River will have acquired its name of a head that is blackening Showing, and then grazing to a head here in the Great Winterhoek Mountains where he started she. She started on and at the farm Zungah, and his name is on old cards here explicitly the 'black / blackhead'. One suspects a connection between Zungah and Swartkop / Swartkopsri- four. 'Black' is in Old Cape T'nu, in Nama ╪nu. The Zun of the name Zungah must match this if Swartkop is a translation of Zungah, and the -GAH must knock with 'head' or 'peak', but from our advice we can not convincingly true. We take: The Swartkops River has his name from a black shown-shown Zungah. The geographical connection between the Khoekhoians Zungah and the Afrikaans Swartkops River is ultimate. It gives an autopcher. At Napkare for old places, the Afrikaans (or English) name is usually a translation of the old inland name. In the case of Zungah and Swartkops River, we cannot prove it from Nama or from Old Cape, but the possibility that it is not excluded that Swartkops River is a translation from Zungah.

Description
eng PNC decides to spell 'Kwa-Zunga', and as such, the Swartkops River is also indicated to his association with the Elands River on the topographical series 1973 sheet 3324 Port Elizabeth and on the relevant maps on scale 1:50 000. The river Now a prefix for locality from Xhosa, the Kwa, apparently because it is summarized from Xhosa as a name.

afr PNK besluit om te spel 'kwa-Zunga', en as sodanig is die Swartkopsrivier ook aangedui tot aan sy vereniging met die Elandsrivier op die Topografiese reeks 1973 vel 3324 Port Elizabeth en op die betrokke kaarte op skaal 1:50 000. Die rivier kry nou ’n prefiks vir lokaliteit uit Xhosa, die kwa, blykbaar omdat dit as naam uit Xhosa opgevat word. Die riviernaam kwa- Zunga sluit duidelik aan by die plaasnaam Zungah, soos op die Afdelingskaart 1890 aangegee, ’n plaas wat later onderverdeel is in (die ou) Zungah, en suid daarvan, Zungah No. 2, soos op die ooreenstemmende Topo-ka- dastrale kaart 1969 ingeskryf is, geleë weerskante van die Swartkopsrivier, aan sy boloop, nou die rivier kwa-Zunga. Om dit eenvoudiger te stel: Swartkopsrivier se naam is van sy oorsprong af tot aan sy samevloeiing met die Elandsrivier verander tot kwa-Zunga, met ’n prefiks uit Xhosa. Kwa- Zunga kry sy naam van die ou plaas Zungah waar hy sy oorsprong het. Maar die naam is tog Khoekhoens. Ander spellings vir die plek Zungah is kartografies vasgestel as 'Tcum- mumqua' en 'T’numqua'. Hierdie name is met voorbehoude bespreek in TH A** 822-3 n.a.v. eerw. Pettman se pogings. Daar is hulle beskou as bergpieke, o.a. vir die huidige Cockscomb, Craggy Mt. en Four Sisters (vgl. ook Skead CJ 1973 Gazetteer 37), almal in die Groot Winterhoek- berge en in die onmiddellike omgewing van Zungah waarmee hulle ’n geo- grafiese eenheid vorm en waar party soos Cockscomb self ook plaasname geword het. Die Swartkopsrivier het sy oorsprong presies op die plaas Zungah. Die benedeloop van Swartkopsrivier het 'n Khoekhoense naam GOUW, bete- kenende 'Melkboomrivier', op gesag van die noukeurige beriggewer Gordon 1778, kyk TH A* 465. Nou merk ons dat die boloop van die Swartkopsrivier, d.w.s. van sy oorsprong af tot waar hy die Elandsrivier net wes van Uitenhage ontvang, ’n nuwe naam kry, kwa-Zunga, afkomstig van die plaas Zungah. Swartkopsrivier sal tog sy naam verkry het van 'n kop wat swarterig vertoon het, en dan wei na ’n kop hier in die Groot Winterhoekberge waar hy sy begin het. Sy begin is op en by die plaas Zungah, en sy naam is op ou kaarte hier eksplisiet die 'Zwart/Swartkopsri- vier'. Mens vermoed 'n verband tussen Zungah en Swartkop/Swartkopsri- vier. 'Swart' is in Ou-Kaaps t'nu, in Nama ╪nu. Die Zun- van die naam Zungah moet hiermee ooreenstem indien Swartkop 'n vertaling is van Zungah, en die -gah moet klop met 'kop' of 'piek', maar uit ons voor- raad kan ons dit nog nie oortuigend waar maak nie. Ons vat saam: Die Swartkopsrivier het sy naam tog van 'n kop wat swart vertoon. Die Swart - kopsrivier het sy oorsprong in die Winterhoekberge, en die swart kop sal wel daar wees. Die naam van die plaas waar die Swartkopsrivier begin, is die Zungah. Die geografiese verband tussen die Khoekhoense Zungah en die Afrikaanse Swartkopsrivier is onloenbaar. Dit gee 'n naampaar. By naampare vir ou plekke is die Afrikaanse (of Engelse) naam gewoonlik 'n vertaling van die ou inlandse naam. In die geval van Zungah en Swartkopsrivier kan ons dit nie uit Nama of uit Ou-Kaaps bewys nie, maar reken met die moontlikheid dat dit desnieteenstaande nie uitgesluit is dat Swartkopsrivier ’n vertaling uit Zungah is nie.
