eng Corns are bordered on the north and east by a forest reserve on the 1:50 000 card 1968 sheet 3325 BD Paterson the names 'Ferniebrae Forest Reserve' and 'Heatherbrae Forest Reserve' entered it. South of the reserve is 'Thornleigh', farm Alx. Q. 3-23. On his west, Korns are bordered by 'Door Nek' ,. On the mentioned 1:50 000 card 'Doom Neck', and on it 'Doringnek' drift. About Korns, the 'Courrey River' from west to east flows, and then swings it south over 'Buf- Feleskuil' and 'coelney'. Courney declared us in th a * 290 as 'Smalbos'. On CoNey, the name 'Woodlands' is entered three times. It seems as if the names are Thornleigh, Dormgnek, Doom Neck, Coeney and Woodlands form a core group. There is also a semantic connection between the names because they all refer to borns or bushes. The forest reserves belong to the same geographical condition. Topographically, Korns belongs to the same group; We believe there is also a possible linguistic agreement, viz. that korns such as Nama ǀ goms = 'forest' Rust 1960 DNW 13, 'thickets' can be, of ǀ glue = 'dicht stehen' (Kr.- . For the variability of K and G- cf. Th a * 42 at 5 a 3).

afr Korns word aan die noorde en ooste begrens deur ’n bosreserwe wat op die 1:50 000 kaart 1968 vel 3325 BD Paterson die name 'Ferniebrae Forest Reserve' en 'Heatherbrae Forest Reserve' daarop ingeskryf het. Suid van die reserwe is 'Thornleigh', plaas Alx. Q. 3-23. Aan sy westekant word Korns begrens deur 'Door Nek',.op die genoemde 1:50 000 kaart 'Doom Nek', en met daarop 'Doringnek' driekeer ingeskryf. Oor Korns vloei die 'Coerney River' van wes na oos, en swenk dit dan suidwaarts oor 'Buf- felskuil' en 'Coerney'. COERNEY het ons in TH A* 290 verklaar as 'Smalbos'. Op Coerney is die naam 'Woodlands' driekeer ingeskryf. Dit lyk dan asof die name Thornleigh, Dormgnek, Doom Nek, Coerney en Woodlands ’n kerngroep vorm. Daar is ook ’n semantiese verband tussen die name want hulle verwys almal na borne of bosse. Die bosreservate be- hoort tot dieselfde geografiese gesteldheid. Topografies behoort Korns tot dieselfde groep; ons meen daar is ook 'n moontlike taalkundige ooreenkoms, nl. dat Korns soos Nama ǀgoms = 'bos' Rust 1960 DNW 13, 'ruigte' kan wees, van ǀgom = 'dicht stehen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 114), met die slot -s van die fern. sing. Vir die variabiliteit van k- en g- vgl. TH A* 42 by 5 A 3).
