Kwoap, Kwabs(Kop)
Quater' is farm no. Q. 6-3, Dist. Namaqualand. On his southeastern boundary, 'Kwabskop' with triangle basin 27 on it. Just across the border is the big farm 'Zand Kraal' No. Clw. Q. 6-49. On the corresponding topographical map 1973, the name was entered as 'Sandkraal'. There is 'Loerguin'. At the southwest of quawing and on the coast, approximately flipping and Mossel Bay, is 'owlsplane' and, east of it, another 'pardon'. 'Owlsplane' and 'Loerduin' is apparently on the farm 'KWASH' No. . 8-8, recorded as 'brush' on the mentioned topographical map. 'Brush' and 'kwass' topographic toponimies form a unit. 'Quote' and 'Kwab-' are interchanges of the same word, so too 'brush (s)', but LG. Has the LO-Cativating exit -s of the FEM. Sing, instead of the -p / b of the mascus. sing. We believe there is also a semantic relationship between the various components of the toponimic core group. The member 'boat' that occurs in some of the names and has 'Zand-' sand 'of others, is in Nama' ǀ Gowa- '(Rest 1960 DNW 15); This corresponds to 'quoe' and 'kwa'. Then, here, we have the much preventative phenomenon that Afrikaans or Dutch components of a toponimic core group (partial) translations of the Khoekhoen component (s) are. So we do not agree with the statement that Father Vleillet gave, cf. Th a ** 812. 'Dune' or 'Duinkop'.
