Kneu
KNEU is the name of farm Clw. 2-30 to the Nooiens River running eastern in -the Voainraal River, all in the Calvinia district; The farm lies south of the town. We received no indication of the meaning of the name. But the agreement between this Kneu and the Nuy River in Worcester District (the K- set the suction consonant) hit us. Nuy River means 'Wilgerboom River'. Now we first note that in Calvinia district places are in the vicinity of Kenu pointing to the ample presence of the willow tree, places such as 'willbosch' (instead CLW. Q. 1-43) on DA, 'Wilgerboskraal' (Place No. 288/1936) on BB, already on the census card 1891 Two farms 'willow tree' just east of Kneu, at 3120 Ca and then, almost as if he wants to contradict us, the farm 'single Wilgenboom' (No. Clw. Q. 1- 44) at 3119 DA. Salix capensis is in Nama ╪hui-: The K- KNEU corresponds to the ╪, the nasal vowel, as usual with H, a N, a symbiosis that can be clearly observed on the kimograph, ' A further question comes on: Is that river name 'Nooiens River' in its first component does not have a whole nettimological adaptation in Afrikaans of the 'Kenu' River? Then the ground word in the farm name know, and invite in the river name (etc.) - both that it relates to willow trees, and that the farm name the Khoekhoians, the river name the deformed Afrikaans name, the one as Kneu, the other as inviting (-).
