Koeroegab, Kuruga
The name was discussed in th a ** 739-740. The survey of the survey (dated 1966) stated that the name's meaning is 'unknown', but a second hand, that of someone who was later consulted, expressed the suspicion that the name 'quartz-rich mountain ' mean. We now point to another possibility that we want to accept provisionally. The mountains often reflected numbers, so at Gordon 'De Two Broeders', on the census card of 1891 'Twin Hills', etc. on the said card and at Veillet SJ come on K 2816 B before 'Five Sister Hills', with Five circles signed up northeast of the Kodas River. On the Topo Cadastral Series 1966 Skin 2816 Alexander Bay is eastern and just south of the Kuruga '. But the same ridge appears on the corresponding topographical map 1974 as' Kooegab '.' Five 'Is in Nama Koro, in Old Cape Kouru, Kourou, Kurruh, etc., for the variants watch Hott, stretching on 169.' Sister 'is in Namaǃ Ga, the whole Kourouga- + the ml. EKV. Exit -B that indicates independent river and (as here) mountain names. 'Five Simples', as the name occurs on maps today for the western part of this mountain mass, then translate the old Khoekhoense name that has been preserved in 'Kooega-B' or 'Kuruga' for the acting eastern and whore portion. All circumstances are pleading with the audio queue for this Koeroe- = five (ie Koro), and not 'quartz' (ie ǀǀ guru), and that this -ga-b = sister (s), and not 'many' Not, ie not like Nama -Xa.
