Xaudanib
Rev. Zahn analyzes the composition as follows: gold- = dung, and -eni = honey. According to Nama, however, it should be: XOU- [XAU] = 'Scheiss- DREK ...', and -Dani- = 'derign' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 48 and 53 resp.). Deni- is an ordinary old-Cape variant in pronunciation. One doubt or Rev. Zahn, then just in the country and new on his mission, had already knew much Khoen, also his word distribution, but his notice is based on what was told Him locally. To make it linguistically acceptable, the division soon plus -deni would have been good. For us it is still unhappy how the fog spoiled exactly the honey. It is important that we got a new point of view with this statement. Cfg. Also Chue and Gouda.

It will definitely be found in this area a lot of honey (ENI); But since they are often flooded with dirt (goud), the honey spoils, and therefore the name '

Es wird namlich in dieser Gegend viel Honig (eni) gefunden; da sie aber oft mit Dreck (Goud) iiberschwemmt wird, so verdirbt der Honig, und daher der Name'

Eerw. Zahn ontleed die samestelling soos volg: goud- = drek, en -eni = heuning. Volgens Nama moet dit egter wees : xou- [xau-] = 'Scheiss- dreck...', en -dani- = 'der Honig' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 48 en 53 resp.). Deni- is ’n gewone Ou-Kaapse variant in uitspraak. Mens twyfel of eerw. Zahn, toe nog pas in die land en nuut op sy sendingpos, reeds veel Khoe- khoens geken het, ook blykens sy woordverdeling, maar sy mededeling berus bepaald op wat plaaslik aan horn gesê is. Om dit taalkundig aan- neemlik te maak sou die verdeling gou- plus -deni goed gewees het. Vir ons is dit nog onklaar hoe die mis presies die heuning bederf het. Van belang is dat ons met hierdie verklaring ’n nuwe gesigspunt gekry het. Vgl. ook CHUE en GOUDA.
