Conclusion 179 Bibliography 180 Voorwoord Die studie raak enige leser wat belang het by die ontwikkeling van Suid-Afrikaanse inheemse tale en volke, akademici wat spesialiseer in onomastiek en alle verwante dissiplines, en politici wat besluite neem oor naamsveranderings. Dit sal goed wees om die studie groter publisiteit te gee as net in akademiese kringe, byvoorbeeld die kultuurorganisasies van die Boesmans (San) en Pleknaam- komitees, provinsiaal sowel as nasionaal. Die studie vul ’n groot leemte in die begrip van die rol van die Boesman in Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis. Dit is baanbrekerswerk met inligting wat saam met vroeëre navorsers se resultate gedreig het om in argiewe te verdwyn, maar op ’n nuwe manier aangebied word om die kulturele erfenis van die Boesman te erken en te bewaar.
