Kururu(Fontein, -Rivier)
In earlier years, these rivers were very unknown and confused. On Alexander's card, Kururu can be the Ham River. In any case, it is indicated there with dotted lines as being a dry river. Alexander writes a suction patch in front, and says the name means 'noisy', which is strange I.v.m. A dry run look. But his anglicis of what was told Horn was inadequate here. The form is iguru = 'Don- nern' (Rust 1960 DNW 14), with change G and K, cf. 5 A 3. On this meaning we are made by Krenz FK 1974 Farmer Note. Over the thunder, one can fantasize, eg. That water after a thunderstorm intertwin in the bed.

Description

In earlier years, these rivers were very unknown and confused. On Alexander's card, Kururu can be the Ham River. In any case, it is indicated there with dotted lines as being a dry river. Alexander writes a suction patch in front, and says the name means 'noisy', which is strange I.v.m. A dry run look. But his anglicis of what was told Horn was inadequate here. The form is iguru = 'Don- nern' (Rust 1960 DNW 14), with change G and K, cf. 5 A 3. On this meaning we are made by Krenz FK 1974 Farmer Note. Over the thunder, one can fantasize, eg. That water after a thunderstorm intertwin in the bed.

In vroeër jare was hierdie riviere baie onbekend en verwarrir.g het voorgekom in die plasing van hulle. Op Alexander se kaart kan Kururu die Hamrivier wees. In ieder geval word dit daar met stippellyne aangedui as synde 'n droë riviertjie. Alexander skryf ’n suigklap vooraan, en se dat die naam beteken 'raserig', wat tog vreemd i.v.m. 'n droë lopie lyk. Maar sy verengelsing van wat horn vertel is, was hier ontoereikend. Die grondwoord is Iguru = 'don- nern' (Rust 1960 DNW 14), met wisseling g- en k-, vgl. 5 A 3. Op hierdie betekenis is ons attent gemaak deur Krenz FK 1974 Boer Aantekening. Oor die gedonder kan mens fantaseer, bv. dat die water na 'n donderbui donde- rend voortraas in die bedding.
