Dwagas
No further information; Little doubt that DWA, also TWA - voiced (5 a 2), the loan word from Khoekhens is for kinds of aristida, eg. A.Ciliata (Smith 1966 CNSAP 207, and especially 472), a typical grass type of the Kalahari world. The member -GA is like Nama ǀ Ga- for grass in the 'general (thus: Dwagas = Dagras). The exits will also say that a source is specifically referred to.

afr
Geen nadere inligting nie; min twyfel dat dwa-, ook twa- uitgespreek (5 A 2), die leenwoord uit Khoekhoens is vir soorte Aristida, bv. A.ciliata (Smith 1966 CNSAP 207, en veral 472), ’n tipiese grassoort van die Kalahariwêreld. Die lid -ga- is wel soos Nama ǀga- vir gras in die 'algemeen (dus: Dwagas = Dwagras). Die uitgang -s sal ook hier se dat spesifiek na ’n bron verwys word.
