Nukaneb
Nu- like Nama ╪nu 'black'. There is little uncertainty about the member. It is not equal to Lhani, the 'red-door' or 'red cannol' not due to the color difference, and there is slightly doubt whether the ordinary canned is meant, the hydnora africana or jackal food, which is a brownish tuber underground (Smith 1966 CNSAP 257-8, which is 1968 5 246). Yet, nevertheless, there is no doubt, viz. 'Black nutsedge river', 'Black Button River'.

Nu- like Nama ╪nu 'black'. There is little uncertainty about the member. It is not equal to Lhani, the 'red-door' or 'red cannol' not due to the color difference, and there is slightly doubt whether the ordinary canned is meant, the hydnora africana or jackal food, which is a brownish tuber underground (Smith 1966 CNSAP 257-8, which is 1968 5 246). Yet, nevertheless, there is no doubt, viz. 'Black nutsedge river', 'Black Button River'.

Nu- soos Nama ╪nu 'swart'. Oor die lid -kanip is daar bietjie onsekerheid. Dit is wel nie gelyk te stel met lhani-, die 'rooi-uintjie' of 'rooikanol' nie vanweë die kleurverskil, en daar is effens twyfel of die gewone Kannip bedoel is, die Hydnora africana of jakkalskos, wat ’n bruinerige knol ondergronds het (Smith 1966 CNSAP 257-8, WAT 1968 5 246). Oor die betekenis bestaan nogtans geen twyfel nie, nl. 'Swartuintjiesrivier', 'Swartknolrivier'.
