Soetap

Mr Burger is considered the person who knows the history of Kakamas: The city clerk Malan took us to him. We will want to explain the name lightly other than Mr. Burger, but in joining Horn. The first component soil sounds better with TSA - = 'than' than with Tsara- = 'Fabric'. The Tap is as Namaǃ A-B = River. Loop, with the -t- as approximate pronunciation attempt of the suction medklinkerǃ. So 'As River', D.W.S. of the greyish, ascolorous substance. Another point of uncertainty is the precise course of the stream. According to the map indicating us as a veillet, pepper slightly more easily than Central cocoa. Unfortunately, the old name is no longer on the relevant skins with the scale 1:50 000. [We are concerned. We would like to recover the old name].

Description
eng Mr Burger is considered the person who knows the history of Kakamas: The city clerk Malan took us to him. We will want to explain the name lightly other than Mr. Burger, but in joining Horn. The first component soil sounds better with TSA - = 'than' than with Tsara- = 'Fabric'. The Tap is as Namaǃ A-B = River. Loop, with the -t- as approximate pronunciation attempt of the suction medklinkerǃ. So 'As River', D.W.S. of the greyish, ascolorous substance. Another point of uncertainty is the precise course of the stream. According to the map indicating us as a veillet, pepper slightly more easily than Central cocoa. Unfortunately, the old name is no longer on the relevant skins with the scale 1:50 000. [We are concerned. We would like to recover the old name].
afr Mnr Burger word beskou as die persoon wat die geskiedenis van Kakamas die beste ken: die stadsklerk Malan het ons na horn toe geneem. Ons sal die naam ligtelik anders wil verklaar as mnr Burger, maar in aansluiting by horn. Die eerste komponent soe- bind klankmatig beter met tsao- = 'as' as met tsara- = 'stof'. Die -tap is wel soos Nama ǃa-b = rivier. lopie, met die -t- as benaderde uitspraakpoging van die suigmedeklinker ǃ. So'onge- veer 'Asriviertjie', d.w.s. van die gryserige, askleurige stof. Nog ’n punt- jie van onsekerheid is die presiese loop van die spruit. Volgens die kaart wat ons aandui as Veillet, le Soetap effens meer oostelik as Sentraal-Kaka- mas. Ongelukkig kom die ou naam nie meer voor op die betrokke velle met die skaal 1:50 000 nie. [Wat ons betref. ons sien graag dat die ou naam herstel word].
