Description
eng The case was discussed in th a * 465 N.A v. the conception of Dr of Fre-den E.A. Vereket not quoted there is also playing on his card as 'ghous' and still giving 'ghous head', a head on the farm. The registered name is 'Gous', it lies on the lower seat of the Molopori- four, on either side, in the Gordonia district, northern of Augrabies. The return in TH a of the location must be improved from 2820 AB to BA, and the statement can also be improved. This vast farm borders on Black Modder with which it once formed a unit at a time. The name Gous may be related to that of the northern neighboring farm Black Modder and is then as Nama + Goa- = 'AngeFeuchteter Lehm ...' ( Kr. ǃ Soon-s in the meaning of a 'waterfall', if a waterfall occurs there, on proposal of Krenz FK 1979 note. 'Gous' has nothing to do with the family name gous or with English 'Ghost' (= ghost) Not, as it is claimed, cf. of Vrede's fellowships tap 'mud', or 'waterfall'.
afr Die geval is bespreek in TH A*465 n.a v. die opvating van dr Van Vree- den e.a. Veillet wat daar nie aangehaal is nie, spel dit op sy kaart ook as 'Ghous' en gee daarby nog 'Ghous Kop', 'n kop op die plaas. Die gere- gistreerde naam is 'Gous', dit le aan die benedeloop van die Molopori- vier, aan weerskante, in die distrik Gordonia, noordelik van Augrabies. Die opgawe in TH A van die ligging moet verbeter word van 2820 AB tot BA, en ook die verklaring kan verbeter word. Hierdie uitgestrekte plaas grens aan Swartmodder waarmee dit eens op 'n tyd klaarblyklik ’n eenheid gevorm het. Die naam Gous hou dalk verband met die van die noordelike buurplaas Swartmodder en is dan soos Nama +goa- = 'angefeuchteter lehm...' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 132), of beter, 'modder', met die fern. sing, -s hier ter nadere aanduiding van die ou modderplek. Die geografiese en taalkundige affiniteite maak die verklaring moontlik. Andersins kan ook gedink word aan ǃGou-s in die betekenis van ’n 'Waterval', indien ’n waterval daar voorkom, op voorstel van Krenz FK 1979 Aantekening. 'Gous' het niks te doen met die familienaam Gous of met Engels 'ghost' (=spook) nie, soos daar ook al beweer is, vgl. Van Vreeden se medede- lings t.a.p. 'Modderplek', of 'Waterval'.
