Dia!kwain (David Hoesar) (V)

<i>The Bushman Doctor or Sorcerer (L II.-1. 273-275). An account of these people was also given in the Katkop dialect by Dia!kwáin (L V.-3. 4122-4131), from whom we besides have two reports of cures performed upon himself. The first of these (L V.-3. 4132-4161, 4. 4162-4199) includes a speech made by the sorceress; the second relates how she cured him when injured by a Kafir (L V.-4. 4200-4230).</i>

1) p.4121v: Dia!kwain heard about this from his mother (≠kammi-an), but also saw it for himself; the |xam names of veins; Dr Stewart was consulted on the 'vertebral artery', 2) p.4126v: Dia!kwain says that there would be a 'spring' of blood inside the body, or internal bleeding from the 'vertebral artery', 3) See also
