Buchu(Berg, -Berge, -Fontein Ens.)
For discussion of the plant name cf. Boegoeberg, also some spelling methods. The word has been recorded since 1668 (HOTT 222-3), but disappeared from the active vocabulary of Nama, so that Afrikaans, English and German have become the custodians here.

Vir bespreking van die plantnaam vgl. BOEGOEBERG, aldaar ook enkele spellingwyses. Die woord is opgeteken sedert 1668 (HOTT 222-3), maar het uit die aktiewe woordeskat van Nama verdwyn, sodat Afrikaans, Engels en Duits hier te lande die bewaarders geword het.
