Bleek and L.C. Lloyd, [1911]\nThe Bushmen are those who mark arrows,[1] while they wish that they may recognize the arrows, when they are shooting springbok at one place. And, when they are following the springbok spoor, when\n[1. All the arrows.]\nthey are going along picking up the arrows they recognize the arrows. They say: \"Thy arrow it seems to be, for, their mark is like this.\" Another man says: \"Yes, my arrow is yonder.\" They again go to pick up this arrow. The other man says: \"My arrow seems to be yonder; for their mark is like this.\"\n|kwae[1] is that with which they make the marks. They put tto into (it), and they pound the tto together with the ||kuae; and the ||kuae becomes red on account of it; then, they mark the arrows with it.\n[1. They (the farmers) call it \"Harpis.\" (Probably harpuis, * * * \"resin.\")]","title":"Specimens of Bushman Folklore: The Marking Of Arrows.","type":"page"}
