Quagga makes flour

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

Dia!kwain (David Hoesar) (V)

<i>A description of the preparation of Meal, from the !kaùru ( . . . . . ) berries, was given, in the Katkop dialect, by Díä!kwãin. This is said to have been done formerly by the Quagga, in the days when she was a woman, and carried a sieve (L V.-25. 5997 rev.-6001 rev., note).</i> In Early Times the Quagga and the Baboon were people. The Quagga possessed a mat or a sieve that she used when making flour or meal out of roasted and ground-up berries.
