Description
eng Descending on the sound we would have been inclined to the first member of the name, viz. 'Karree', relating to 'KareeBoom', a Rhus sp. On the said map we see a river from east to west across the farm flows and joining 'sweet water' at the War Kloof River.

afr Afgaande op die klank sou ons geneig gewees het om die eerste lid van die naam, nl. 'Karree', in verband te bring met 'kareeboom', 'n Rhus sp. Op die genoemde kaart sien ons ’n rivier van oos na wes oor die plaas vloei en op 'Zoet Water' by die Oorlogskloofrivier aansluit. Op die oor- eenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1968 is die rivier as nie-standhoudend aangegee en daar is ook sy naam aangegee: 'droëboom se Rivier'. Aan- gesien ons meermale die lid 'Kar(r)ee' in plekname in die betekenis van 'droog' teegekom het (vgl. KAREE(BERGE), 3021, KAREE(SPRUIT) 3224, ens.), doen die moontlikheid horn voor dat die lid 'Karree' hier ook in verband gebring moet word met 'droë-', en wel op topografiese gronde.
