eng Guap Plains' is about triangular. It is bordered on the northeast by the farms 'Wolf River A or Klipbak' No Civ. Q. 13-41 and 'Wolf River B' No Civ. Q. 13-38. To the northwest, Guap Plains are bordered by 'Wolf River C' No Civ. Q. 13-39, and to the south by 'Old Drift' No Civ. Q. 10-12, which is on his eastern border 'Krom Koker Hoek' No Civ. Q. 25-13 has. The southern border of Old Drift and Krom Koker Corner is the north border of 'Wolf River E' No Civ. Q. 17-25. Wolf River E is bordered on the south by 'Wolf River F' No Civ. Q. 17-24. About the farms 'Wolf River' NRS A, B, C, E and F, and also over 'Old Drift' and 'Guap Plains', the 'Wolf River' flows. Where 'Wolf River' is so precisely surrounded by the farms 'Wolf River' and where the 'Wolf River' means all the farms like beads, it seems like 'Wolf River', 'Wolfrivier', 'Guap (Plains)' and ' Ghwaap (SEBER) 'ǃ A toponimic core group form. In similar cases, we have often found that besides the topographical coherence, also a linguistic relationship. We think this can also be the case here. Then the member '-ap' of 'guages' / 'ghwap' like Namaǃ Ab = River (Rest 1960 DNW 22). The first member of the name, viz. 'Gu-', then 'Wolf' must mean. 'Wolf' is in Namaǃ Soon- (Rest 74) that sounds soundly good with gu-. It looks like 'guap' / 'Ghwap' like Namaǃ Gauǃ AB can be. If, 'Wolf River' or 'Wolf River' is literally translated from the Khoekhoens. Finally, we call that the mountain name appears on the corresponding topographical map 1968 as 'Ghwaapberg'.

afr Guaap Vlakte' is ongeveer driehoekig. Dit word aan die noordooste be- grens deur die plase 'Wolf River A or Klipbak' nr Civ. Q. 13-41 en 'Wolf River B' nr Civ. Q. 13-38. Aan die noordweste word Guaap Vlakte begrens deur 'Wolf River C' nr Civ. Q. 13-39, en aan die suide deur 'Oude Drift' nr Civ. Q. 10-12, wat aan sy oosgrens 'Krom Koker Hoek' nr Civ. Q. 25-13 het. Die suidelike grens van Oude Drift en Krom Koker Hoek is die noordgrens van 'Wolf River E' nr Civ. Q. 17-25. Wolf River E word aan die suide begrens deur 'Wolf River F' nr Civ. Q. 17-24. Oor die plase 'Wolf River' nrs A, B, C, E en F, en ook oor 'Oude Drift' en 'Guaap Vlakte', vloei die 'Wolfrivier'. Waar 'Guaap Vlakte' so presies deur die plase 'Wolf River' omring is en waar die 'Wolfrivier' al die plase soos krale aanmekaar ryg, lyk dit asof 'Wolf River', 'Wolfrivier', 'Guaap (Vlakte)' en 'Ghwaap(seberg)' ǃn toponimiese kerngroep vorm. In soortgelyke gevalle het ons al meermale gevind dat daar naas die topografiese samehang ook ’n taalkundige verband is. Ons meen dit kan ook hier die geval wees. Dan is die lid '-aap' van 'Guaap'/'Ghwaap' soos Nama ǃab = rivier (Rust 1960 DNW 22). Die eerste lid van die naam, nl. 'Gu-', moet dan 'wolf' beteken. 'Wolf' is in Nama ǃgou- (Rust 74) wat klankmatig goed ooreenstem met gu-. Dit lyk dan asof 'Guaap'/ 'Ghwaap' soos Nama ǃgau-ǃab kan wees. Indien juis, is 'Wolfrivier' of 'Wolf River' letterlik uit die Khoekhoens vertaal. Ons noem ten slotte net dat die bergnaam op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1968 voor- kom as 'Ghwaapberg'.
