Kadies(Berg)
At the corresponding topographical map 1974, the name of this mountain appeared as 'khissberg', clearly a nethymological effort to give sense to the hybrid cabin hens Afrikaans name Kadiesberg. However, it is on the topographical map that we find the key to the meaning of the component kadies-. On the south side of Kikjiesberg (Kadiesberg) is poison head. GIF is in Namaǃ Ga (Rest 1960 DNW 27) Allophone withǃ KHA (cf. th a * 42 at 5 a 3). We believe the first member of the name Kadiesberg, D.W.S. Ka-, 'poison' means, m.a.w. That Gifkop and Ka Diesberg are interconnected to topographical and linguistic grounds, in the sense that the Afrikaans component is poison- a translation of the corresponding Khoekhoen component.

Op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1974 kom die naam van hierdie berg voor as 'Katjiesberg', duidelik 'n volksetimologiese poging om sin te gee aan die hibridies Khoekhoens-Afrikaanse naam Kadiesberg. Dit is egter op die Topografiese kaart dat ons die sleutel tot die betekenis van die komponent Kadies- vind. Aan die suidekant van Katjiesberg (Kadies- berg) is Gifkop. Gif is in Nama ǃga- (Rust 1960 DNW 27) wat allofoneer met ǃkha- (vgl. TH A* 42 by 5 A 3). Ons meen dat die eerste lid van die naam Kadiesberg, d.w.s. Ka-, 'gif' beteken, m.a.w. dat Gifkop en Ka- diesberg op topografiese en taalkundige gronde met mekaar verbindbaar is, en wel in die sin dat die Afrikaanse komponent Gif- 'n vertaling is van die ooreenstemmende Khoekhoense komponent.
