Gnuena
On the farm 'Gousha Gate' No Ped. Q. 22-25, Dist. Peddie, mouth the 'Gnuena' in the 'Blue River' that flows from the northeast. About a kilometer southwest of the confluence water the Blue River in the Great Fish River. On the topographical series 1968 sheet 3326 GRA HAMSLOWN, the Blue River is given as the 'Gqora' and the Gnuena as 'Paradise River'. Is there possibly a connection between 'Gnuena' and 'Blue River', eg. That 'GNUE' like Nama ^ ha = 'Blau' (Rust 1960 dnw 11), with '-na' like Namaǃ A- = River, 'FlusS' (Rust 22)? Or is a bond between 'Gnuena' and ǀ Nanu- = heaven, in Old Cape 'Noonop', 'Nanoop', etc., (Hott. 300), = 'Paradise River'?

On the farm 'Gousha Gate' No Ped. Q. 22-25, Dist. Peddie, mouth the 'Gnuena' in the 'Blue River' that flows from the northeast. About a kilometer southwest of the confluence water the Blue River in the Great Fish River. On the topographical series 1968 sheet 3326 GRA HAMSLOWN, the Blue River is given as the 'Gqora' and the Gnuena as 'Paradise River'. Is there possibly a connection between 'Gnuena' and 'Blue River', eg. That 'GNUE' like Nama ^ ha = 'Blau' (Rust 1960 dnw 11), with '-na' like Namaǃ A- = River, 'FlusS' (Rust 22)?

Op die plaas 'Gousha Poort' nr Ped. Q. 22-25, dist. Peddie, mond die 'Gnuena' in die 'Blue River' uit wat vanuit die noordooste vloei. Ongeveer 'n kilometer ten suidweste van die samevloeiing water die Blue River uit in die Groot-Visrivier. Op die Topografiese reeks 1968 vel 3326 Gra- hamslown word die Blue River aangegee as die 'Gqora' en die Gnuena as 'Paradise River'. Is daar moontlik 'n verband tussen 'Gnuena' en 'Blue River', bv. dat 'Gnue-' soos Nama ^hoa = 'blau' (Rust 1960 DNW 11) is, met '-na' soos Nama ǃa- = rivier, 'Fluss' (Rust 22)? Of is ’n verband te vind tussen 'Gnuena' en ǀnanu- = hemel, in Ou-Kaaps 'noonop', 'nanoop', ens., (Hott. 300), = 'Paradise River'?
