Slead CJ 1973 Gazette 65 Identify Goadar as the Gonubierivier. We took over his grade square. If we accept Beutler's diversion, then the first part is clear as Nama ╪goa, kora ╪koa- (cf. hott 391) which means 'clay, mud', coherent to think of 'marsh', or 'muddage', But the -DAR is not declared with certainty. It is believed that the -da may be diminutive form, the 'mud', but it only creates other problems.

Forbes 1965 PTSA 17 teken hierby identifiserend aan 'They crossed their Goadar River, ...which is probably the stream flowing S.E. to join the Kwelegha on its south bank a mile from its mouth'. Skead CJ 1973 Gazetteer 65 identifiseer Goadar as die Gonubierivier. Ons het sy graadvierkant oorgeneem. As ons Beutler se afleiding aanvaar, dan is die eerste gedeelte duidelik soos Nama ╪goa-, Kora ╪koa- (Vgl. HOTT 391) wat beteken 'klei, modder', samehangend te dink by 'moeras', of 'modderasie', maar die -dar is nie met sekerheid te verklaar nie. Daar is gemeen dat die -da- moontlik diminutief- formans is, die 'moddertjie', maar dit skep net ander probleme.
