Khoekhoen
Over three centuries ‘Hottentot’ was the ethnonym for the yellow‐skinned people of Southern Africa. In the course of time it acquired connotatively derogatory meanings and became a term of abuse. ‘Khoekhoen’, the people's own national name, was substituted for ‘Hottentot’. The substitution was generally welcomed, but not its spelling and form. The spelling was according to the standard orthography, as officially introduced in 1977. The traditiona…
"The origin of the name "Hottentot
Quotations that do not contain anything new can be as monotonous as the Hottentot dancing-song. What we actually have, will suffice. We have had the accounts of Dutchmen, Germans, Frenchmen, Englishmen and a Dane, and although some speak with more authority than others, either because they observed more carefully or because they had contact with the people for a longer period, all their information serves to put the question in a more accurate pe…
N lysie Hottentotse woorde uit 1626
SYNOPSIS Thomas Herbert, “Esquire” (later knighted) was at Table Bay in 1626 as a young man of about 21 years of age, and here he compiled a list of 31 Hottentot words, including the numeralia 1–10. This is the oldest known collection of words of this interesting click language which travellers found so very difficult to write. This article is a study of all known old glossaria of Khoi‐Khoin up to 1815. It deduces certain “consonant laws” and the…

His list of Xhosa words is of considerable importance as this is the oldest extant collectio…
Die vroegste verslae aangaande hottentots
SYNOPSIS This article enquires into attempts before 1652 at learning the language of the Hottentots. The information is drawn from Journals by early travellers, who occasionally gave one or more aboriginal words or personal names. Sir Thomas Herbert figures quite prominently in this survey; he compiled a short list of common words, including numerals up to ten. The writer of this contribution attempts to prove that the Hottentot words for bread, …
Kom Die Zoeloe i(li)hhashi uit engels
OPSOMMING Doke en Vilikazi se Zoeloe‐Engelse Woordebock, ’n baie waardevolle standaardwerk, vereis egter her‐siening ten opsigte van die etimologie van sommige woorde wat uit Engels of Afrikaans stam. I(li)hhashi, byvoorbeeld, is nie af te lei uit Engels: horse nie (algemeen aanvaar sedert Döhne dit voorgestel het), aan‐gesien die woord reeds voorkom in Von Winckelmann se beskrywinge van sy reise in die oostelike Kaap‐provinsie in 1788–9. Von Win…
