We have the name on p. 610 of th a ** Discuss. The statements, as given by whites, are completely outlined and different from what Mr Hanse and his team say. According to them, the Anlaut of the written form of the name is a G-, not a K-, and it is important. The ground word is notǃ Kae = dark, butǃ GAI = 'Der Vorschurz, Vorkaros der Knaben' (Kr.R. 1969 NW 87, Rhine Spellings).

Ons het die naam op bl. 610 van TH A** bespreek. Die verklarings daar, soos gegee deur Blankes, loop heeltemal uiteen en verskil van wat mnr Hanse en sy span se. Volgens hulle is die anlaut van die geskrewe vorm van die naam 'n G-, nie 'n K- nie, en dit is belangrik. Die grondwoord is dus nie ǃkae = donker nie, maar ǃgai = 'der Vorschurz, Vorkaros der Knaben' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 87, Rynse spellings). Die rede vir die benoe- ming het vir ons verlore gegaan, maar die naam bied kans vir mooi poetiserings, ook wat betref die uitgang -na-; die -s dui ook hier bepaalde- lik 'n waterplek (fontein) aan.
