eng The comma in front of Stow stands for the suction sound. The change K and H- is simply, so K-monkey, GH monkey and H-monkey are much preventative game variants in the old documentations. Cfg. Of Vredes 1961 Origin 14, 74, 293-4, 307-8, and Slead CJ 1973 Gazette 87 S.V. Cape Plateau.

afr Die komma vooraan by Stow staan vir die suigklank. Die wisseling k- en h- is gewoon, dus is K-aap, Gh-aap en H-aap veel voorkomende spelvariante in die ou dokumentasies. Vgl. Van Vreeden 1961 Oorsprong 14, 74, 293-4, 307-8, en Skead CJ 1973 Gazetteer 87 s.v. Kaap Plateau.
