Gobab(Rivier)
The T 'suggests a suction consonant. The Goba (s) flows at Steinkopf, and lower, southwards, it becomes 'Schaap R.', and then flows into the Buffels River at spectacle, according to the map. Sheep is in Nama Gu-, without tongue, but the surprising is that Gu-in Old Cape could indeed have had a suction flaster (cf. Hott 448). The question is now whether sheep river is not just a translation of the old inland name, such as. The said Buffalo River here was the old 'stuff'. In the recording, the names sometimes suffered 'bitter'.

Description
eng
The T 'suggests a suction consonant. The Goba (s) flows at Steinkopf, and lower, southwards, it becomes 'Schaap R.', and then flows into the Buffels River at spectacle, according to the map. Sheep is in Nama Gu-, without tongue, but the surprising is that Gu-in Old Cape could indeed have had a suction flaster (cf. Hott 448). The question is now whether sheep river is not just a translation of the old inland name, such as. The said Buffalo River here was the old 'stuff'. In the recording, the names sometimes suffered 'bitter'.

Die T’ stel ’n suigkonsonant voor. Die Goba(s) vloei by Steinkopf verby, en laeraf, suidwaarts, word dit 'Schaap R.', en vloei dan in die Buffelsrivier in by Spektakel, volgens die kaart. Skaap is in Nama gu-, sonder tongklap, maar die verbasende is dat gu- in Ou-Kaaps inderdaad ’n suigklap kon gehad het (vgl. HOTT 448). Die vraag is nou of Skaaprivier nie net ’n vertaling van die ou inlandse naam is nie, soos bv. die genoemde Buffelsrivier hier die ou 'Koussies' was. In die optekening het die name soms 'bitter' gely.
