Sources

One good-quality source was found simply by checking what links here. I have therefore declined the proposed deletion. However, I have tagged the page for more sources. – Fayenatic London 17:43, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

As EoRdE6 still thinks this is "badly sourced, possibly hoax" (see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/ǃXu (god)), I have added more.
The Bushman dictionary is by Dorothea F. Bleek; a scanned text copy is at the Internet Archive here. Her good authority as a reliable source is confirmed by the bibliography here: Language and Social History: Studies in South African Sociolinguistics, p. 16, at Google Books. ISBN 9780864862808. – Fayenatic London 20:34, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! I'm not trying to hate on the topic, I just want to be sure that this article is correct. Lots of people rely on wiki for information and we need to insure that it is correct... EoRdE6 (talk) 20:54, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Cheers! Thanks for the speedy close. At least the page is better sourced now. – Fayenatic London 08:25, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
