eng In th a ** 1021-22 we called a number of possible explanations of this name. In addition, we add one more, based on topographical grounds. 'T'caimoeps lows' No. Ken. Q. 5-12 is bordered on the east door by 'Yellow Floor' No Gr. 10/1938 on which the pan is 'Yellow floor'.

Adjoining Adjoining Yellow Floor lies the western neighbor 'Vaal Head', no. 1020/1913.

afr In TH A** 1021-22 het ons ’n aantal moontlike verklarings van hierdie naam genoem. Daarby voeg ons nou nog een, gefundeer op topografiese gronde. 'T’Caimoeps laagte' nr Ken. Q. 5-12 word aan die oostekant be- grens deur 'Geel Vloer' nr Gr. 10/1938 waarop die pan 'Geelvloer' is. Ten noordooste van en aangrensend aan T’Caimoepslaagte is die plaas 'Adjoining Geelvloer' wat noord van en aangrensend aan Geel Vloer le. Naby die noordoostelike grens van T’Caimoepslaagte en op die plaas is 'Vaalhoek'. Suid van T’Caimoeps laagte is ook die plaas 'Vaal Hoek' nr 378. Grensend aan Adjoining Geel Vloer le die westelike buurplaas 'Vaal Kop', nr. 1020/1913. 'T’Caimoeps laagte', 'Geelvloer', 'Adjoining Geelvloer', 'Vaal Kop' en 'Vaalhoek' vorm dus 'n toponimiese kern- groep. Naas die topografiese verband is daar o.i. ook ’n taalkundige verband tussen die name moontlik. 'Vaal' is in Nama ǀhei [ǀhai] (Rust 1960 DNW 20), vir 'geel' is dieselfde woord, ǀhei, ǀhai, opgeteken (HOTT 273). Die name 'Vaal(hoek)' en 'Geel(vloer)' berus op dieselfde bodem- gesteldheid, ons meen 'T’Cai(moeps laagte)' ens. ook. Die bestaanbare wisseling van h en klc na ’n suigkonsonant (vgl. TH A* 45 by 5 C 3) maak dit seker dat hierdie T'Cai- soos Nama ǀhei, ǀhai is, m.a.w. dat al die name dieselfde grondwoord van vaal of geel het. Die T’- in T’Cai- is ’n suigkonsonant, nl. die dentaal hier. Vir nog spellinge vir hierdie selfde woord vir vaal of geel, vgl. o.a. KYGARIEP, HEIGARIEP vir Vaalrivier. Om dinge te kompliseer wat tot nou toe eenvoudig gelyk het, moet ons op ’n ander topografiese vasstelling wys. Op die Topografiese reeks 1975 vel 2918 Pofadder is ten suidweste van 'Kaimoepslaagte' en 'Kaimoep' ingeskryf 'Swartkop', en daaronder staan tussen hakies 'T’Caimoepskop '. Die korreleer met ‘'T’Caimoepskop' op die suidelike punt van die plaas 'T'Caimoep', vgl. die ooreenstemmende Topo-kadastrale kaart 1966. Indien ons hier weer die pa- troon het dat 'n Afrikaanse komponent die (gedeeltelike) vertaling van die Khoekhoense komponent van 'n toponimiese groep is, moet 'Swart(kop)' die vertaling wees van 'T’Cai(moepkop)'. Dit is moontlik. Die T’- stel 'n suigkonsonant voor, en die -C- van T'Cai- kan met K- afwissel, vgl. die wisselspellinge 'Kai-' hierbo. Die lid Kai-/TCai- kan dan ooreenstem met Nama ǃkai- [ǃkhae-j = 'donker' (HOTT 247) wat semanties verbindbaar is met 'swart'. 'Tcaimoepkop' naas 'Swartkop' kom net op een kaart voor terwyl die plekname met bestanddeel Vaal- en Geel- kwantitatief so veel en topografies so prominent is dat ons meen dat die eerste verklaring voor- keur verdien. Vir die tweede lid van die pleknaam, nl. -moep = mu-b, vgl. TH A** 1021-1022.
