Ganaga
Now Ganagakloof (cf. Also Forbes PTSA 42 and 85). According to Gordon's usual way of appointing, we will expect 'Craje Road' the translation of the Khoekhoen Ganaga. 'Crow' and 'raven' in Namagorab, approximately equal in Old Cape finding farms; A name for it equal to GAN (N) A is not preserved. We probably have to do with some kind of vague term, eg. With the loan from Afrikaans, in Nama Ga-S for 'goose', also 'wildegans' and '(wild) duck', perhaps also applied to 'crow'. Here it is good to remember that our 'whitening', a loan vanity from Khoekhens, is not a crow, but a vulture type. GAN (N) A- is the agile MV. of GA-S Plus (for impairment) The A-Objectivi. The -ga in the exit is (such as Nama -Xa) the suffix, and agree on with us. With GA-S, Comm. pi. Plus A-obj. GAN (N) A, as 'crow (s)', means the place name Ganagakloof 'Crows rich gap ', D.W.S. A gorge where crows are abundant. Cfg. Also Goandi-Cobi (Gansevlei). The 'Ganaga Gorge' is the name of a river, which is a tributary of the Renoster River, in turn a tributary of the Tan Quarivier. The Ganaga Gorge rises in the Roggeveld Mountains on the farms Gannaga No Civ. Q.30-17 and Gannaga Outspan No. 21/1950, both in Dist. Calvinia on K 3220 AA. That crows in this area are abundant, evidenced by other names with the ingredient crow, eg. Kraai River Farm No.q.16-4 on K 3220 CB, southeastern CANAGA Gorge.
