ǀŌǁgarus

To read Hahn's Word as 0- ǀǀ Karu (System of Knudsen; The point before the O - probably omitted by the seat, for ǀ 0). The distraction as at Schultze looks the most acceptable, 'stalkbank'. The -s will have locative value. We believe that of more than one place. It is possible that the return at Pastor Moritz refers to the old railway station 'Stingbank'. The given grade square is n.a.v. Schultze.

eng To read Hahn's Word as 0- ǀǀ Karu (System of Knudsen; The point before the O - probably omitted by the seat, for ǀ 0). The distraction as at Schultze looks the most acceptable, 'stalkbank'.

afr Hahn se woord te lees as 0-ǀǀKaru (stelsel van Knudsen; die punt voor die O- waarskynlik deur die setter weggelaat, vir ǀ0). Die afleiding soos by Schultze lyk die aanneemlikste, 'Stinkbank'. Die -s sal lokatiewe waarde he. Ons meen dat hier van meer as een plek sprake is. Dit is moontlik dat die opgawe by pastor Moritz verwys na die ou spoorwegstasie 'Stingbank'. Die gegewe graadvierkant is n.a.v. Schultze.
