Donggwa
To read as 'Dong- ǀ Qua'. The Dong - is Namaqualand pronunciation of Nama Dau = 'Brennen' (Rust 1960 DNW 12), with the dimensioned -au- realized as -ong, in which the -a- as -o- audience is, like -am-s here Namaqualand is also expressed as -om-S. It then agrees with Laidler's 'burnt', but he did not translate. One asks you or maybe ǀ Gowa, the -a- with middle tone, can be meaning 'the sanddiine' (Kr. 1889 Wortschatz 115), and then the old name may be of the current 'De Brand Dune', Place NAM.Q.1-9 on K 3017 DB south of Anenous.

Te lees as 'Dong-ǀqua'. Die Dong- is Namakwalandse uitspraak van Nama dau = 'brennen' (Rust 1960 DNW 12), met die genasaleerde -au- gerealiseer as -ong, waarin die -a- as -o- gehoor is, soos -am-s hier in Namakwaland ook as -om-s uitgespreek word. Dit stem dan ooreen met Laidler se 'burnt', maar die ǀqua het hy nie vertaal nie. Mens vra jou af of dit miskien ǀgowa-, die -a- met middeltoon, kan wees, betekenis 'Die Sanddiine' (Kr. 1889 Wortschatz 115), en dan die ou naam mag wees van die huidige 'De Brande Duin', plaas Nam.Q.1-9 op K 3017 DB ten suide van Anenous.
