Tgunaqua
T'gunaqua' is farm no. Q. 7-21, District Joubertina. On the eastern side, T'Gunaqua bordered T'gunaqua on 'pigs gap', farm no. Q. 6-31. For 'pig' is recorded in Old Cape O.A. 'Hakoe' (fall. 1705 107 b), 'ha ~ old' (Kolbe 1708 1 433), cf. Hott 492. Nienaber GS 1963 Hott 492 writes 'We can ... assume that [in Old Cape] was a word like GU-B for 'pork' with decisive elements for 'domestic' and 'wild' ... 'We believe it is possible that the first member of the farm name' T'Gunaqua ', viz. 'T'gu-', the word for 'pig' preserved. The t'- then set the suction sound for which kolbe indicated with a tilde, look above. The second member of the place name, '-na-', is simply the exit of the MV. Comm., 'T'guna-' means 'pigs' - however, we are used to thinking about '-qua' as ML. MV. There will normally not follow two multiples on each other. But this '-qua' is not a plural. It is possible here as possible as '-kwa', '-qua' in Genakwas, Kenakwas, ǀ Genaquas (th a * 414), viz. Like 'Valley', 'Gorge'. Linguistically, 'T'gunaqua' is then associated with 'pigs gorge', names of two places that also form topographically a unit. We suspect on the basis of the above considerations that 'pigs gap' can be a translation of the Khoekhoense name 'Tgunaqua'. On the corresponding topographical map 1973 does not occur one of the two names.
