eng Outgoing of the meaning 'quarrel' as evil, bad, dangerous, gum, rogue, etc. We can name the name, or rather then (because the -ka = river, cf. Hott 430), not completely satisfying. Outgoing of the sound form then we have no certainty. Pettman thought in SAHS 17 to ǀǀ Kani = hate, but did not repeat it in SAPN 1931. The settlement of Krenzfk 1975 note may have earnings. He does on hand Nama 'then = besiegen', and thanks = 'sets, and Welcher man sich as shedding, besiegetende caps', so that the 'quarrel river' is related to it. The current form of the name Tanga shows the normal change of T / D and of K / G, see 5 A 2 and 3. Forbes' Tangla is apparently writing error. There is also a siding Tanga at 3227 dB, all located in the current District Komga.

afr Uitgaande van die betekenis 'Quaade' as boos, sleg, gevaarlik, slu, skelm ens. kan ons die naam Danka, of liewer Dan- (want die -ka = rivier, vgl. HOTT 430), nie heeltemal bevredigend verbind nie. Uitgaande van die klankvorm Dan- het ons ook geen sekerheid nie. Pettman het in SAJS 17 gedink aan ǀǀkani = haat, maar dit in SAPN 1931 nie herhaal nie. Die verkla- ring van KrenzFK 1975 Aantekening het miskien verdienste. Hy doen aan die hand Nama 'dan = besiegen', en Danka = 'Stelle, an welcher man sich als geschlagen, besiegt erkennen musste', sodat die 'Quaade rivier' hiermee in verband te bring is. Die huidige vorm van die naam Tanga toon die normale wisseling van t/d en van k/g, kyk 5 A 2 en 3. Forbes se Tangla is blykbaar skryffout. Daar is ook ’n sylyn Tanga op 3227 DB, almal geleë in die huidige distrik Komga.
