eng The Kareespruit flows from the east on the farm Stockdale in the Platri- four, a tributary of the Sunday River. The Bolope of the Kareespruit flows over the farm 'Karee River Poort Now Called Shirland' No. 5 Now Called Get River 'No Sum. Q. 15-8, over 'Turkish Vyg Boom Now Called Good Hope' No Som. Q. 15-8a, and over 'DRY RIVER ALIAS GALGE BOSCH' No. Q. 10-27. 'Karree River Port ...' And '... Get River' Border Border side the farm 'Lot No. 6 Karee River 'No Sum. Q. 15-4. On the north side,' Karee River 'is bordered by' dammed fountain 'No. Q. 14-2 which, in turn, as north boundary the farm' Drought River ... ' has. From this it appears that 'get' and 'crow' folk etymological adjustments of 'car (r) ee', a phenomenon that we could also determine elsewhere on topographical grounds, cf. Karee (River) 3323 in th a ** 653 . There we relate the member of Karee with a Rhus sp., Probably the R. Lancea or R. Viminalis. Based on the toponic core group as indicated above in the Pearston district, we believe Karee rather relates to Bring with 'dry', cf. For this KAKE (mountains) in th a * 651. 'Drought river' will then be in his first member a translation of 'Kareer River'.

afr Die Kareespruit vloei vanuit die ooste op die plaas Stockdale in die Platri- vier, 'n sytak van die Sondagsrivier. Die boloop van die Kareespruit vloei oor die plaas 'Karee River Poort now called Shirland' nr Som. Q. 14-5, dist. Pearston Op hierdie plaas word die Kraairivier deur die Platrivier ontvang. Die Kraairivier vloei ook oor 'lot No. 5 now called Kry Rivier' nr Som. Q. 15-8, oor 'Turks Vyg Boom now called Good Hope' nr Som. Q. 15-8A, en oor 'Drooge Rivier alias Galge Bosch' nr Som. Q. 10-27. 'Karree River Poort...' en '...Kry Rivier' grens aan mekaar; aan albei grens aan die suidoostelike kant die plaas 'lot No. 6 Karee Rivier' nr Som. Q. 15-4. Aan die noordekant word 'Karee Rivier' begrens deur 'Opgedroogte Fontein' nr Som. Q. 14-2 wat op sy beurt as noordgrens die plaas 'Drooge Rivier...' het. Hieruit blyk dit dat 'Kry' en 'Kraai' volks- etimologiese aanpassings van 'Kar(r)ee' is, n verskynsel wat ons ook elders op topografiese gronde kon vasstel, vgl. KAREE(RIVIER) 3323 in TH A** 653. Daar het ons die lid karee in verband gebring met n Rhus sp., waarskynlik die R. lancea of R. viminalis. Op grond van die toponi- miese kerngroep soos hierbo aangedui in die distrik Pearston meen ons dat karee hier eerder in verband te bring is met 'droog', vgl. hiervoor KA- REE(BERGE) in TH A* 651. 'Drooge Rivier' sal dan in sy eerste lid n vertaling wees van 'Kareerivier'.
