SCHOLTZ MG 1978 QUESTIONNAIRE PER BURGER CR Principal 'The farm [Great bowl] name is a translation of an unspeakable Bushman word that means large. Because the Orange River (Gariep) was so full of turns, it seemed to the Bushmen like the colon of an animal '

Scholtz MG 1978 Vraelys per Burger CR Skoolhoof 'Die plaas [Groot- derm] se naam is ’n vertaling van 'n onuitspreeklike Boesmanwoord wat grootderm beteken. Omdat die Oranjerivier (Gariep) op daardie plek so vol draaie was, het dit vir die Boesmans soos die dikderm van 'n dier gelyk'
