Candauw

Van Plettenberg translates the name into our quote. Pettman sets this Candouw equal to Gantouw 3418, means Elandskloof. He does not carry any grounds for this. The equality is probably based on outward agreement in sound. Severall could of Plettenberg's Candauw, exchange form Gantouw, exactly on 33 ° 32 'S., 19 ° 34' O. This corresponds to the current farm 'Water Gorge 'No. Q.22-1 Dist. Worcester and close to the Hex River (cf. Topo Cadastral Series 1969 Skin 3319 Worcester). It lies just from the dooms. We believe that Waterkloof is the translation of this Candauw (cf. O.A. Cango, where the Can - like Old-Cape Kam- = 'Water'). The dew is old-Cape for 'Kloof' (Hott 415), Nama Dao.

afr Van Plettenberg vertaal die naam in ons aanhaling nie. Pettman stel hierdie Candouw gelyk aan Gantouw 3418, betekenende Elandskloof. Hy voer geen gronde hiervoor aan nie. Die gelykstelling berus waarskynlik op uiterlike ooreenkoms in klank. Skead kon Van Plettenberg se Candauw, wisselvorm Gantouw, presies situeer op 33° 32' S., 19° 34' O. Dit stem ooreen met die huidige plaas 'Water Kloof’ nr Wor. Q.22-1 dist. Worcester en na aan die Hexrivier (vgl. Topo-kadastrale reeks 1969 vel 3319 Worcester). Dit le net suidelik van De Dooms. Ons meen dat Waterkloof die vertaling is van hierdie Candauw (vgl. o.a. CANGO, waar die Can- soos Ou-Kaaps Kam- = 'water' is). Die -dauw is Ou-Kaaps vir 'kloof’ (HOTT 415), Nama dao-.
