The member -thew (W) is, as Nama Dao- = port, also gorge, so that the beginning will relate to the part of Witenberg where Koekedouwsberg and under Koekedouwsberg are signed on SA series 1976 scale 1:50 000 sheet 3319 AC Tulbagh (3319 AD is not yet available).

Description
eng The member -thew (W) is, as Nama Dao- = port, also gorge, so that the beginning will relate to the part of Witenberg where Koekedouwsberg and under Koekedouwsberg are signed on SA series 1976 scale 1:50 000 sheet 3319 AC Tulbagh (3319 AD is not yet available). Koekdouri- Four walks between the Witsenberg and Skurweberg southwards until he joins Ceres in the Dwars River, Systak of Breer River. 'Ceres Dam' is in the elbow of the river. We do not get help with the meaning of the ground word, viz. About the cakes-. If you take into account environmental names such as 'Boskloof' or 'home forest', or with farm names such as 'Doom Plate' 316, and a connection with cakes - want to search, can be thought of Nama ǀǀ Khu-Gu- = 'Thorns', viz. Of the thorn trees. And is associatively possible 'Doringkloof' and 'Doringskloof River'
afr Die lid -dou(w) is wel soos Nama dao- = poort, ook kloof, sodat die begin wel betrekking sal he op die deel van Witsenberg waar Koekedouwsberg en Onder Koekedouwsberg ingeteken is op S.A.-reeks 1976 skaal 1:50 000 vel 3319 AC Tulbagh (3319 AD is nog nie beskikbaar nie). Koekedousri- vier loop tussen die Witsenberg en Skurweberg suidwaarts deur tot hy by Ceres indraai in die Dwarsrivier, sytak van Breerivier. 'Ceres Dam' is in die elmboog van die rivier. Ons kry nie hulp oor die betekenis van die grondwoord nie, nl. oor die Koeke- nie. As mens rekening hou met omge- wingsname soos 'Boskloof' of 'Ouhuisbos', of met plaasname soos 'Doom Plaat' 316, en 'n verband met Koeke- n.a. daarvan wil soek, kan gedink word aan Nama ǀǀkhu-gu- = 'dorings', nl. van die doringbome. en is assosiatief moontlik 'Doringskloof' en 'Doringskloofrivier'
