Tratra(Rivier)
We already discussed the name in TH a ** 1036 and then claimed that we had not yet received a backed statement. Pastor Moritz who served a seven year in Wuppertal now calls a local assertion that really possesses possibilities. The Traatarivier is excluding in the Doring River. We accept the local tradition regarding the meaning, viz. 'Forested river'.

Ons het die naam reeds in TH A** 1036 bespreek en toe beweer dat ons nog nie ’n gesteunde verklaring gekry het nie. Pastor Moritz wat 'n sewe jaar in Wuppertal gedien het, noem nou 'n plaaslike bewering wat werklik moontlikhede inhou. Die Tratrarivier loop uiteindeiik in die Doringrivier uit. Ons aanvaar die plaaslike tradisie ten opsigte van die betekenis, nl. 'Beboste rivier'.
