Description
eng Graafwater', in the words of Mr Agenbag 'a water that opened their', is in Nama Xora (Rest 1960 DNW 28) who does not fit linguistically at Koobo name Kumpout. Then maybe think about ╪khuru- [= bkhuru] = AAR, WATER (RANT 2) OR 11GARU = 'WASER- BECKEN (INI FELS)'. The reduction exit is, of course, Afrikaans. = Fkuru- is soundly closer to KOBOO, 11GARU semantics. For a statement that the name is related to Nama ǀǀ guru- = gravel rocks etc. cfg. Th A ** 778 S.V. Kourootje.
afr Graafwater'’, in die woorde van mnr Agenbag '’n watertjie wat hul oopgegrawe het', is in Nama Xora- (Rust 1960 DNW 28) wat taalkundig nie goed aansluit by Kouroo- van die naam Kourootjie nie. Dan miskien te dink aan ╪khuru- [=bkhuru] = aar, wateraar (Rust 2) of 11garu = 'Wasser- becken (ini Fels)'. Die verkleiningsuitgang -tjie is natuurlik Afrikaans. =FKuru- is klankmatig nader aan Kouroo-, 11garu- semantics. Vir ’n verklaring wat die naam Kourootjie in verband bring met Nama ǀǀguru- = gruisklippies ens. vgl. TH A** 778 s.v. KOUROOTJE.
