Description
eng Abiekwa is a rapid ruling of the same word we find in Haweka, Ibequa, Obiekwa as ingredient of place names, and in Ubiqua, all for the Bushman who had many other names, such as San, Sonkwa, Makryka ​​etc. Sometimes it strikes on a tree type, according to Smith 1966 CNSAP 57 the Tamarix Austro-Africana (T. Articulata), according to Ponnighaus 1931 JOURIAL 6 12 THE T. USNEOIDES. The mortgage, according to Smith, is the fact that the Bushmen 'Reputedly Fashioned Their Bows and Uintjies Stocks ... From The Branches' of the AbiekwasGeelwood, the Namas's Daweb. The component of ABI (E) in this form in other place names as in ABIKWASPUTS, ABIKWASPAN; It does not always appear to be the name on the people group or just on the tree. Cfg. Also of Vredes 1961 Origin 153. Abiquas Aar, so spelled in the farm list of Gordonia, no B283 / 1896, is also the name of a pan there.
afr Abiekwa is ’n wisseluitspraak van dieselfde woord wat ons aantref in HAWEKA, IBEQUA, OBIEKWA as bestanddeel van plekname, en in Ubiqua, almal vir die Boesman wat nog baie ander name gehad het, soos San, Sonkwa, Makryka ens. Soms slaan dit op ’n boomsoort, volgens Smith 1966 CNSAP 57 die Tamarix austro-africana (T. articulata), volgens Ponnighaus 1931 Joernaal 6 12 die T. usneoides. Die verband, volgens Smith, is die feit dat die Boesmans 'reputedly fashioned their bows and uintjiesstokke... from the branches' van die abiekwasgeelhout, die Namas se daweb. Die komponent Abi(e)kwa- kom in hierdie vorm in ander plekname voor soos in Abikwasputs, Abikwaspan; dit blyk nie altyd of die naam op die volksgroep of net op die boomsoort daar betrekking het nie. Vgl. ook Van Vreeden 1961 Oorsprong 153. Abiquas Aar, so gespel in die plaaslys van Gordonia, nr B283/1896, is ook die naam van ’n pan daar.
