Description
eng Kareehoek's emptiness' is located to the west of Middelpos on the road between Sutherland and Calvinia. Just south of Kareehoek's void is the 'dry Kloof River', a non-perennial river on the farm 'Droogloof' No. Clw. Q. 2-36 originate and walk eastwards to the 'Level River'. Southeast of the convergence is 'Hottentotskop' and 'Dryberg'. North of Kareehoek's void is the non-perennial 'Little Karo River'. The northwest of this name group, about the 45 ° Southern Breede degree, there is the group 'Kareehoek ',' Kareekloof ',' Kareehoek's mountain 'and' dry river '. The topographical condition of names' dry (river) ',' dry (mountain) ',' dry (gorge) ',' dry (Kloof River) ' , 'Drought (Kloof)' and 'Karoo (River)' (= 'Dry River', cf. Karoo Th ** 663-4) speaks, let us suspect the member 'Karee-' in the Khoekhoian names above understand must be in the meaning of 'dry'. cf. Also Kare (Mountains) 3021, Karee (Branch) 3224 etc , transfer 'dry' too
afr Kareehoek se leegte' is ten weste van Middelpos aan die pad tussen Sutherland en Calvinia geleë. Net suid van Kareehoek se leegte is die 'droë- kloofrivier', 'n nie-standhoudende rivier wat op die plaas 'Droogekloof' nr Clw. Q. 2-36 ontspring en ooswaarts loop tot by die 'Vlakrivier'. Suidoos van die sameloop is 'Hottentotskop' en 'droëberg'. Noord van Kareehoek se leegte is die nie-standhoudende 'Klein-Karoorivier'. Ten noordweste van hierdie naamgroep, ongeveer op die 45° suiderbreedte- graad, is daar die groep 'Kareehoek', 'Kareekloof', 'Kareehoek se Berg' en 'droërivier'. Die topografiese gesteldheid wat uit name 'droë- (rivier)', 'droë(berg)', 'droë(kloof)', 'droë(kloofrivier)', 'Drooge- (kloof)' en 'Karoo(rivier)' (= 'droërivier', vgl. KAROO TH A** 663-4) spreek, laat ons vermoed dat die lid 'Karee-' in die Khoekhoense name hierbo begryp moet word in die betekenis van 'droog'. Vgl. ook KA- REE(BERGE) 3021, KAREE(SPRUIT) 3224 ens. Die lid 'Karee-' is dan waarskynlik soos Nama Igari = 'hard' (Rust 1960 DNW 29), oordragtelik ook 'droog'
