I've been chuckling at this ... but isn't Khoikhoi the polite and
considerate term today?  Would that be Khoikhointentententoonstelling ?
It just doesn't have the same ring (is it the right way of spelling it,
even?)  Or does 'Hottentotten' refer to the mountains rather than the
people?

Yours, killing time while re-installing a crashed GIS system,

Pat
