eng Ityarha is the Xhosanam of this tributary of the Koonap. At summary, approximately 45 km north resort of Grahamstown and 25 km south-west of Fort Beaufort. His oldest name (according to the cards) was Kiangha, later Krangha, still preserved in the farm names 'Kianghas mouth' and 'kiang- Has Drift', resp. NRS Aly. O. 3-58 and 4-24. We have next to the River Different- Living farm names with the ingredient Klip-, eg. ǀ kara-xa = 'rocky spot', with the Xhosa exit -Rha equal to Khoekhens -Xa, and the Tya (with the ty axis) equal to (ǀǀ) Kara, the whole in the Xhosanam Attached to Tyarha, from (ǀǀ) Ka- R (a) XA? This Tyarha (so entered on eg. Topographical series 1974 sheet 3226 King Williams Town) should not be confused with eg. Tyarha on 3128 BD.

afr Ityarha is die Xhosanaam van hierdie sytak van die Koonap. by same- vloeiing ongeveer 45 km noordnoordwes van Grahamstad en 25 km suid- wes van Fort Beaufort. Sy oudste naam (volgens die kaarte) was Kiangha, later Krangha, nog bewaar in die plaasname 'Kianghas Mond' en 'Kiang- has Drift', resp. nrs Aly. O. 3-58 en 4-24. Ons het langs die rivier verskil- lende plaasname met die bestanddeel Klip-, bv. suidelik grensend aan Kianghas Drift 'Klipplatt Drift' en 'Klipplatts Fontain', en aan die boloop 'Klipgat'. Die vraag is dit: is iTyarha nie oorgeneem uit Khoe- khoens ǀǀkara-xa = 'Klipperige plek' nie, met die Xhosa-uitgang -rha gelyk aan Khoekhoens -xa, en die Tya- (met die Ty- as klap) gelyk aan (ǀǀ)kara-, die geheel in die Xhosanaam saamgetrek tot Tyarha, uit (ǀǀ)Ka- r(a)xa? Hierdie Tyarha (so ingeskryf op bv. Topografiese reeks 1974 vel 3226 King Williams Town) moet nie verwar word met bv. Tyarha op 3128 BD nie.
