Kurusap
The coordinates point out that the place today is the name of Zuurberg, Farm No. 46, Dist. Bethanien, north of the town, and on it the mountain of which the farm received his name (note the exit -b, ml. Ekv., Which signaled). Alexander translates it correctly, such as Nama ǀ Kuru = acid (Rust 1960 DNW 51). The Krikriekarte 1904 no longer knows the inland name, and only gives the translation as 'Sauer B. (Zuur B.)', with German first. Strange that th hahn omits the suction patch and passes the second vowel as -I- i.p. if you-.

afr
Die koördinate wys onfeilbaar uit dat die plek vandag die naam dra van Zuurberg, plaas nr 46, dist. Bethanien, ten noorde van die dorp, en daarop die berg waarvan die plaas sy naam ontvang het (let op die uitgang -b, ml. ekv., wat bergname signaleer). Alexander vertaal dit korrek, soos Nama ǀkuru = suur (Rust 1960 DNW 51). Die Kriegskarte 1904 ken nie meer die inlandse naam nie, en gee net die vertaling daarvan as 'Sauer B. (Zuur B.)', met Duits voorop. Vreemd dat Th Hahn die suigklap weglaat en die tweede klinker aangee as -i- i.p.v. as -u-.
