Description
eng No indication of the meaning is given; It is located in the Kabas Mountains, Dist. Kenhardt. Of course, one can knot yourself ties. So Krenz FK 1974 is hereby farmer: 'Na- = mountain turtle, andǃ Kuri = turn around: The tortoises are laid on the back that they can not walk any further'. Dr of Vredes 1961 Origin 449's statement with 'unexpected battle' is linguistically on loose screws. Slead CJ 1973 Gazette 56 Give alternative names as O.A. 'Eyties MTS., Eutues MTS.', We don't help much, even as the transparent 'Carlisle MTS.'
afr Geen aanduiding van die betekenis word gegee nie; dit is geleë in die Kabasberge, dist. Kenhardt. Mens kan natuurlik vir jouself bande knoop. So se Krenz FK 1974 Boer hierby: 'Na- = bergskilpad, en ǃkuri = omdraai: die skilpaaie word op die rug gelê dat hulle nie verder kan loop nie'. Dr Van Vreeden 1961 Oorsprong 449 se verklaring met 'Onverwagte Geveg' staan taalkundig op losse skroewe. Skead CJ 1973 Gazetteer 56 gee alternatiewe name as o.a. 'Eyties Mts., Eutues Mts.', wat ons nie veel help nie, ewemin as die deursigtige 'Carlisle Mts.'
