Enta, Entaap
We know that rival names in these Khoekhoen (Korana) areas in many cases continue in their Afrikaans translation, eg. The names of heart, mud, pale and fat rivers. It causes the suspicion that Enda and Entap Khoekhoen are forms of Value River. It is linguistically apparently the case. Cfg. for the first ingredient and nama hina = 'involved signal' (Kreenlin 1889 Worschatz 164); The second member -ta (AP) is like Namaǃ A-B = River, with the Anlaving T- to be considered an attempt to give the cerebral sucker, by Lichtenstein 1805 traveling for Korana spelled T2KAHP. Enta (AP) = Literally Vals River, the Afrikaans name is a loan translation.

Ons weet dat riviername in hierdie Khoekhoense (Korana-) gebiede in baie gevalle vandag voortlewe in hulle Afrikaanse vertaling, bv. die name Harts-, Modder-, Vaal- en Vetriviere. Dit wek die vermoede dat Enta en Entaap Khoekhoense vorme van Valsrivier is. Dit is taalkundig klaarblyklik die geval. Vgl. vir die eerste bestanddeel En- Nama hina = 'betriigerisch sein' (Kroenlein 1889 Wortschatz 164); die tweede lid -ta(ap) is soos Nama ǃa-b = rivier, met die anlautende t- te beskou as 'n poging om die serebrale suigkon- sonant weer te gee, deur lichtenstein 1805 Reisen vir Korana gespel t2kahp. Enta(ap) = letterlik Valsrivier, die Afrikaanse naam is ’n leenvertaling.
