Kamqua, Kamkwa(Pan)
On the Topo Cadastral Series 1967 Skin 2620 Witdraai, the farm No 456/1918 was entered as 'Kamqua', and 'Kamkwapan'. The farm lies at the Auob River, on its southern shore, now forms part of the national Gemsbok park. The member -qua in the oldest recording makes one think of another nama word than Prof. Present from Warmelo, viz. A word that is also appropriate to the other farm names in the northern Gordonia district and who goes out on -qua to a color name (cf. Oa Abaqua, Uripqua and Nuquap.) It's Namaǃ Goa = 'The Schlucht, Einsenkung '(Kr.-r. 1969 NW 125), at Mr Mouton' cavity ', which is good, in Afrikaans names is it' .. 28), which occurs in numerous place names with a vertebrate Anlaut as Cam- or Cam (cf. Kamdebo). 'Green College'.

On the Topo Cadastral Series 1967 Skin 2620 Witdraai, the farm No 456/1918 was entered as 'Kamqua', and 'Kamkwapan'. The farm lies at the Auob River, on its southern shore, now forms part of the national Gemsbok park. The member -qua in the oldest recording makes one think of another nama word than Prof. Present from Warmelo, viz.

It's Namaǃ Goa = 'The Schlucht, Einsenkung '(Kr.-r. 1969 NW 125), at Mr Mouton' cavity ', which is good, in Afrikaans names is it' .. 28), which occurs in numerous place names with a vertebrate Anlaut as Cam- or Cam (cf.

Op die Topo-kadastrale reeks 1967 vel 2620 Witdraai is die plaas nr 456/1918 ingeskryf as 'Kamqua', en daarop le 'Kamkwapan'. Die plaas le aan die Auobrivier, aan sy suidelike oewer, en vorm nou deel van die Nasionale Gemsbokpark. Die lid -qua in die oudste optekening laat mens eerder dink aan 'n ander Namawoord as wat prof. Van Warmelo voorstel, nl. ’n woord wat ook toepaslik is op die ander plaasname in die noordelike Gordonia-distrik en wat uitgaan op -qua na ’n kleurnaam (vgl. o.a. ABAQUA, URIPQUA en NUQUAP.) Dit is Nama ǃgoa = 'die Schlucht, die Einsenkung' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 125), by mnr Mouton 'holte', wat goed is, in Afrikaanse name hierlangs is dit '-kolk'. Die woord ǃgoa- het 'n wye toepassing in sy onomastiese gebruik, vgl. bv. ABAQUA in hierdie deel.Abaqua is ongeveer 'Rooikolk', Uripqua is 'Witkolk', Nuquap is 'Swartkolk', en so meen ons is Kamqua gewoonweg 'Groenkolk', by Nama ǃam = 'grim' (Rust 1960 DNW 28), wat in talle plekname met ’n velere anlaut voorkom as Kam- of Cam- (vgl. KAMDEBO). 'Groenkolk'.
