Nouansies, Nouncies

Linguistically a very interesting case. Another spelling is Nouncies. Here is the usual allophonic phenomenon of an Anlauting N to show with a suction consonant on an Anlaving H-. 5 D 6. The statement that the name means 'angle' is obviously compatible and linguistically: (i) Nama ǀǀ Hoa-S = 'The ECKE' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 188), eg. In ǀ UIB DI ǀǀ Hoas (Aid.) [A mountain's corner], it becomes ǀǀ Noa-s. (ii) and the nasalized -6- is realized in the second - n- consonant as ǀǀ noans, ǀǀ close. For all certainty it is said that the 'process' does not accomplish in stages or in the said chronology (have) - it is just as suggested to make it 'mechanical' clear. Even the written image does not necessarily give the right succession, the chronology at ǀǀ N and ǀǀ h- on the kimograph track sometimes rather n ǀǀ - and h ǀǀ -. The - (s) are locative elements.

Description
eng Linguistically a very interesting case. Another spelling is Nouncies. Here is the usual allophonic phenomenon of an Anlauting N to show with a suction consonant on an Anlaving H-. 5 D 6. The statement that the name means 'angle' is obviously compatible and linguistically: (i) Nama ǀǀ Hoa-S = 'The ECKE' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 188), eg. In ǀ UIB DI ǀǀ Hoas (Aid.) [A mountain's corner], it becomes ǀǀ Noa-s. (ii) and the nasalized -6- is realized in the second - n- consonant as ǀǀ noans, ǀǀ close. For all certainty it is said that the 'process' does not accomplish in stages or in the said chronology (have) - it is just as suggested to make it 'mechanical' clear. Even the written image does not necessarily give the right succession, the chronology at ǀǀ N and ǀǀ h- on the kimograph track sometimes rather n ǀǀ - and h ǀǀ -. The - (s) are locative elements.
afr Taalkundig 'n heel interessante geval. ’n Ander spelling is Nouncies. Hier is die gewone allofoniese verskynsel van ’n anlautende n- wat saam met ’n suigkonsonant op ’n anlautende h- kan wys, vgl. 5 D 6. Die verklaring dat die naam 'Hoek' beteken, is klaarblyklik juis en taalkundig versoenbaar: (i) Nama ǀǀhoa-s = 'die Ecke' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 188), bv. in ǀuib di ǀǀhoas (aid.) [’n berg se hoek], dit word ǀǀnoa-s. (ii) En die genasaleerde -6- word in die tweede -n- konsonanties gerealiseer as ǀǀnoans, ǀǀnouans. Vir alle sekerheid word gesê dat die 'proses' horn nie in stadia of in die genoemde chronologie voltrek (het) nie - dit is net so voorgestel om dit 'meganies' duidelik te maak. Selfs die skriftelike beeld gee nie noodwendig die juiste opvolging nie, die chronologie by ǀǀn- en ǀǀh- is op die kimograafbaan soms eerder nǀǀ- en hǀǀ-. Die -(s)ies is lokatiewe elemente.
