Aap(Sekloof)

The 'Makekekloof' is a non-perennial river that rises just south of 'Boesmankop' and then walks around eastwards to flow with the 'Steenkamps River'. The 'Makekekloof' correlates exactly with the corresponding topographical map of 1973's 'AB Goof'. This AB is not a monkey or otherwise expressed. The monkey is not an AB. We believe 'monkey' and 'AB' are both people's maturity adaptations of a Khoekhoense word. The Khoekhoian word is = Bab = 'Riet' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 32). It can determine us based on the toponimic core group there. 'Aapsekloof' originates on the farm 'Rietpoort' No. Q. 13-20. To the south of and adjacent to 'Rietpoort' is 'Riethoek' No 8353/1951. On the mentioned topographical map here also the name 'Ourite'. We believe that the names of the topographical and linguistic conjunction Adaptations of the same word is.

Description
eng The 'Makekekloof' is a non-perennial river that rises just south of 'Boesmankop' and then walks around eastwards to flow with the 'Steenkamps River'. The 'Makekekloof' correlates exactly with the corresponding topographical map of 1973's 'AB Goof'. This AB is not a monkey or otherwise expressed. The monkey is not an AB. We believe 'monkey' and 'AB' are both people's maturity adaptations of a Khoekhoense word. The Khoekhoian word is = Bab = 'Riet' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 32).

afr Die 'Aapsekloof' is ’n nie-standhoudende rivier wat net suid van 'Boesmanskop' ontspring en dan ongeveer ooswaarts loop om met die 'Steenkampsrivier' saam te vloei. Die 'Aapsekloof' korreleer presies met die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1973 se 'Ab se Kloof'. Hierdie ab is nie ’n aap nie, of anders uitgedruk. die aap is nie ’n ab nie. Ons meen 'aap' en 'ab' is albei volksetimologiese aanpassings van ’n Khoe- khoense woord. Die Khoekhoense woord is =bab = 'riet' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 32). Dit kan ons vasstel op grond van die toponimiese kerngroep daar. 'Aapsekloof' ontspring op die plaas 'Rietpoort' nr Wor. Q. 13-20. Ten suide van en aangrensend aan 'Rietpoort' is 'Riethoek' nr 8353/1951. Op die genoemde Topografiese kaart kom hier ook die naam 'Ouriet' voor. Ons meen op grond van die topografiese en taalkundige konjunksie van die name dat die komponent 'riet' in die name 'Rietpoort', 'Riethoek' en 'Ouriet' vertaal is uit Khoekhoens 'Tab' en dat 'Aap' en 'Ab' volksetimologiese aanpassings van dieselfde woord is.
