eng Hanse Sd 1977 and five other Choos of Leonardville conversation '╪nos6b. Look, there are two rivers ... that one river comes hard. He passed very hard here. HV must be very full, then he comes off. Some years he doesn't even get off. ╪no = difficult. This is the tough river '. Kariseb e 1977 Former Sergeant and Farmer Conversation' This river, the TNOSB, walks quietly. He walks, then you think he means nothing, he won't make anything. But if you come to him, he can get tough, and then you just get away '. Van der Bijl F 1977 Housewife Conversation [After we presented to her the explanations of the above colored people] 'The trouble could have come because the animals got stuck in the mud. They could walk on it, but as soon as they stand, they sink into '.

Hv moet baie vol wees, dan kom hy eers af. Party jare kom hy glad nie eers af nie. ╪No = moeilik. Dit is die moeilike rivier'. Kariseb E 1977 Oud-sersant en Boer Gesprek 'Hierdie rivier, die TNos- sob, hy loop stil. Hy loop, dan dink jy hy beteken niks, hy sal niks maak nie. Maar as jy by horn kom, dan kan hy moeilik raak, en dan raak jy net weg'. Van der Bijl F 1977 Huisvrou Gesprek [nadat ons aan haar die verklarings van bostaande Bruinmense voorgehou het] 'Die moeilikheid kon gekom het omdat die diere vasgeval het in die modder. Hulle kon daarop loop, maar sodra hulle staan, sink hulle in'.
