Some fishmothing to cloth; occasional minor spotting. Good condition. Afrikaans text. These are volumes 6, 7, and 10 of the 'Naamkundereeks', and form a complete set of the 'Toponymica Hottentotica'. Volumes A* and A** of 1977, respectively, cover place-names from A to G and from H-Z, while Volume B of 1980 fills in the missing Khoikhoi place-names for the entire alphabet. The foreword to the final volume explains: "In 1977 is die twee dele van Toponymica Hottentotica A gepubliseer. Dit het die uitkomste bevat van die navorsing oor Khoekhoense plekname wat in die eerste stadium afgehandel is. Hierdie deel, ter onderskeiding getitel Toponymica Hottentotica B, bevat die resultate van die tweede fase van die navorsing. Hiermee word die studie oor Khoekhoense plekname afgesluit. In totaal is bykans 4000 Khoekhoense plekname in hierdie publikasie behandel. Die invloed van die Khoekhoen op ons pleknaamgewing is nog groter as wat uit hierdie syfer blyk, want baie berg-, rivier-, plek- en plaasname is regstreeks uit Khoekhoens vertaal. Met hierdie publikasie word dus 'n belangrike bydrae gemaak tot ons kennis, nie net van pleknaamkunde nie, maar van taalkunde, plant- en dierkunde, geografie en kultuurgeskiedenis. 'n Belangrike uitkomste van die studie is die vasstelling van 'n nuwe metode om duistere name te verklaar en verkeerde verklarings reg te stel. Daar word vertrou dat hierdie studie nie net vir navorsers van nut sal wees nie maar dat dit belangstelling in pleknaamkunde sal bevorder."
