Oude Huis

The farm 'Old House' touches on his northeastern corner to 'Willebosch River', No. Q. 16-6, which again shares the upper part of its north-eastern border with 'long house', farm No. Su. Q. 2-23. About 'Willebosch River' runs the 'Willbos River', a tributary of the Tankwa River, from south to north. We believe 'Old House' and 'Long House', recorded at the corresponding topographical map 1973 as 'Old House' and 'Langhuis' respectively, in the component 'home' contain a nation fatigue adjustment. We believe that 'house' is actually a Khoekhoian word that means 'willow (forest)', such as Nama housing = 'Weidenbaum' (Rust 1960 DNW 72). The suspicion Grand us on the topographical and linguistic relationship between the components of the toponimic group.

Description
eng The farm 'Old House' touches on his northeastern corner to 'Willebosch River', No. Q. 16-6, which again shares the upper part of its north-eastern border with 'long house', farm No. Su. Q. 2-23. About 'Willebosch River' runs the 'Willbos River', a tributary of the Tankwa River, from south to north. We believe 'Old House' and 'Long House', recorded at the corresponding topographical map 1973 as 'Old House' and 'Langhuis' respectively, in the component 'home' contain a nation fatigue adjustment. We believe that 'house' is actually a Khoekhoian word that means 'willow (forest)', such as Nama housing = 'Weidenbaum' (Rust 1960 DNW 72). The suspicion Grand us on the topographical and linguistic relationship between the components of the toponimic group.
afr Die plaas 'Oude Huis' raak aan sy noordoostelike hoek aan 'Wilgebosch Rivier', nr Wor. Q. 16-6, wat weer die boonste gedeelte van sy noordoostelike grens deel met 'lange Huis', plaas nr Su. Q. 2-23. Oor 'Wilgebosch Rivier' loop die 'Wilgebosrivier', 'n sytak van die Tankwarivier, van suid na noord. Ons meen dat 'Oude Huis' en 'lange Huis', op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1973 opgeteken as 'Ou Huis' en 'langhuis' onderskeidelik, in die komponent 'huis' 'n volksetimologiese aanpassing bevat. Ons meen dat 'huis' hier eintlik 'n Khoekhoense woord is wat 'wilger(bos)' beteken, soos Nama ╪huis = 'Weidenbaum' (Rust 1960 DNW 72). Die vermoede grand ons op die topografiese en taalkun- dige verwantskap tussen die komponente van die toponimiese groep.
