Description
eng Understand the - as the 'stumps back', an exaltation or mountain, in Old Cape since 1655 recorded as Cou, Khoe etc. (Hott 217) = 'Berg', in Nama Depleveled to ǀ (k) Ui. The Aga- probably like ╪ā-b = 'Das Riet' (Kr.-. 1969 NW 32), and the -ga such as Nama -Xa = rich, the whole then the 'reed mountain', shortly 'Rietberg' or 'Rietheuwel'. Because there are two kariegariviere, the location has impaired, but the directions at Forbes 1965 ptsa gave the answer. Forbes says on p. 95 'They ... Parted at Beervlei, The Confluence of the Kariega and Salt Rivers ...' ibid. 100 '. 103 '... Past The Present Position of Aberdeen ... He [Gordon] Came to a Wood on the Buffel's River, Now the Kariega'. According to Gordon, the western of the two kariegariviere, viz. The one who, according to Forbes's card, originates No. 12 southwestern Murraysburg. The 'stumps back' of Gordon is located on K 3223 according to this.
afr Die -koe te verstaan as die 'stompe rug', 'n verhewenheid of berg, in Ou- Kaaps sedert 1655 opgeteken as cou, khoe ens. (HOTT 217) = 'berg', in Nama gedevelariseer tot ǀ(k)ui-. Die Aga- waarskynlik soos ╪ā-b = 'das Riet' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 32), en die -ga soos Nama -xa = ryk aan, die geheel dan die 'Rietryke berg', kortweg 'Rietberg' of 'Rietheuwel'. Omdat daar twee Kariegariviere is, het die ligging probleme opgelêwer, maar die aanwysings by Forbes 1965 PTSA het die antwoord gegee. Forbes sê op bl. 95 'They... parted at Beervlei, the confluence of the Kariega and Salt rivers...' Ibid. 100 '...they came to Beervlei at the confluence of the Salt and Kariega rivers, and then...to the Kraai River...on which Aberdeen now stands...' Ibid. 103 '... past the present position of Aberdeen...he [Gordon] came to a wood on the Buffel’s River, now the Kariega'. Hiervolgens is daar by Gordon deurgaans sprake van die westelike van die twee Kariegariviere, nl. die een wat volgens Forbes se kaart nr 12 suidwestelik van Murraysburg ontspring. Die 'stompe rug' van Gordon is hiervolgens op K 3223 geleë.
