Hangas(Rivier)
According to this, the river got its name from the red Hani uints used as a field food and the names in eg. The Hanami Mountains (alien). The -ga - of the name is apparently the suffix indicating a large amount, Nama -Xa. See the translation by Dr. Vedder. Our doubt stems from the fact that the Hangas River summared close to the farm Handas No. 273, eastward. These two, the farm and the river, must be geographical and o.I. Also onoomastic together, they must have the same meaning. For the other statement, UIBARAKA looks. A link is still missing. The numbers of the farms between round brackets in the quote of surveying are of us.

Hiervolgens het die rivier sy naam gekry van die rooi hani-uintjies wat as veldkos gebruik is en naamgewend voorkom in bv. die Hanamiberge (alwaar). Die -ga- van die naam is glo die suffiks wat 'n groot hoeveelheid aandui, Nama -xa-. Kyk die vertaling deur dr Vedder. Ons twyfel spruit voort uit die feit dat die Hangasrivier somaar naby aan die plaas Hangas nr 273 le, ten ooste daarvan. Hierdie twee, die plaas en die rivier, hoort geo- grafies en o.i. ook onomasties bymekaar, hulle moet dieselfde betekenis he. Vir die ander verklaring kyk UIBARAKAUS. 'n Skakel ontbreek nog. Die nommers van die plase tussen ronde hakies in die aanhaling van Opmeting is van ons.
