Collection

Summary

The !khaü (a lizard of the genus Agama), which interferes with the coming of the rain–clouds. Springbok hunting follows the rain. (L VIII.-3. 6232 rev.-6234 rev., 6259-6266, 6269-6271). The !khau, or Agama lizard (or kochelman) lies in the Driedoorn tree and frustrates the rain's clouds so the rain does not fall. The people make the !khau come down from the Driedoorn tree so that the rain-clouds will bring the rain, which in turn brings the springbok.
