Description
eng At exactly the same height appears in the place name list the following: 'Wilderand', ridges. We ask whether the return was not a game effort for 'kvvaggas', as the loan word today occurs in Afrikaans.
afr Op presies dieselfde hoogte verskyn in die Pleknaamlys die volgende: 'Wildeperderand', rantjies. Ons stel die vraag of die opgawe nie gewoon 'n spelpoging was vir 'Kvvaggas' nie, soos die leenwoord vandag in Afrikaans voorkom.
