Description
eng If the starting point is / was / was, then it is indicated with the FEM. ') Then canǃ Ga ǀǀ Khu-S means the 'source (-s) at the rear (ǃ In the form Gankhus is the vocal nationity ofǃ Ga- in the -n- realized, in Gakhus it is not realized, and n.a.v. Gakhus asks Krenz FK 1976 Boer note whether it is also too appreciated as 'ǃ Ka ǀǀ khus = Stitch'.
afr As die beginpunt ’n bron is/was, dan word dit met die fem.-uitgang -s aangedui by Ga-ǀǀkhu-, die 11khu- vir 'doringboom', en (vgl. GANAUS en GAAUS, albei vir 'Agterfontein') dan kan ǃGaǀǀkhu-s beteken die ‘Bron (-s) by die agter (ǃga-) doringboom (ǀǀkhu-)’, in teenstelling met die doringboom/ -borne daar aan die voorkant. In die vorm Gankhus is die vokaliese nasaliteit van ǃga- in die -n- gerealiseer, in Gakhus is dit nie verwesenlik nie, en n.a.v. Gakhus vra Krenz FK 1976 Boer Aantekening of dit nie ook te waardeer is as ' ǃKaǀǀkhus = Steekdoring' nie.
