"Shua , or Shwakhwe, is a Khoe language of Botswana. It is spoken in central Botswana (in Nata and its surroundings), and in parts of the Chobe District in the extreme north of Botswana. There are approximately 6,000 speakers (Cook 2004). The term Shwakhwe means people (khwe) from the salty area (shwa). Syntax Unlike most Khoisan languages, but like Nama, the most neutral word order is SOV, though word order is relatively free. As with most Khoisan languages, there are postpositions. There is a tense-aspect marker ke which often appears in second position in affirmative sentences in the present tense, giving X Aux S O V order (e.g. S Aux O V). For example, :Kʼarokwa ke ǀʼuizi ʼa gam :boys Asp rock-pl obl throw :"The boys are throwing rocks" :ǀʼui-zi ʼa ke kʼarokwa gam :rock-pl obl Asp boys throw :"The boys are throwing rocks" This marker appears first in certain subordinate clauses in a manner reminiscent of V2 languages such as German, where a clause-initial complementizer is in complementary distribution with a second position phenomenon (in German, it would be the finite verb which appears in second position). Dialects Shua is a dialect cluster. *Deti (10 or fewer speakers) *Ganádi *Shwa-khwe *Nǀoo-khwe *Kǀoree-khoe or ǀOree-khwe *ǁʼAiye or ǀAaye *ǀXaise or ǀTaise *Tshidi-khwe or Tcaiti or Sili or Shete Tsere *Danisi or Demisa or Madenasse or Madinnisane *Cara *ǁGoro or ǀXaio The term Hietshware (Hietʃware, Hietʃo) is used for varieties of both Shua and its sister-language Tshwa.

"The Clyde River (Aboriginal: Bhundoo) is an open intermediate tide dominated drowned valley estuary; or perennial river that flows into the Tasman Sea, located in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. Course and features The Clyde River rises below Kangaroo Hill in the Budawang Range, part of the Great Dividing Range, within Budawang National Park, south of the locality of Sassafras, and flows generally southwards parallel to the east coast, joined by nine tributaries including the Bimberamala, Yadboro, and Buckenbowra rivers, before turning east and reaching its mouth of the Tasman Sea at Batemans Bay. The river descends over its course. The lower reaches of the Clyde River form a substantial estuary up to from its mouth which is navigable by small vessels to Nelligen, with a tidal ebb of up to . The coastal estuary covers a catchment area of and contains approximately of water over an estimated surface area of ; and at an average depth of . The river is one of the last major rivers in eastern Australia that has not been dammed. In its upper reaches, the river forms within the Budawang National Park; while in its lower reaches, the river flows through the Clyde River National Park. Water quality of the basin is very good. The upper catchment is heavily timbered (state forests and national parks); there is a small amount of logging in the Yadboro State Forest. There are no polluting industries in its catchment, nor any sewage outflows, and thus the river has a reputation for the cleanest, least polluted waters of any major river in eastern Australia. Etymology The river was known to Indigenous Australians as the Bhundo. The river was named after the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland, by Lieutenant Robert Johnston who navigated the river aboard the cutter Snapper on 1 December 1821.
