- Title
- Gqeberha 11
- Description
- Gqeberha 11 is a descriptive sign. The open hand moves in a brushing motion behind the head, possibly indicating hair blowing in the wind. This could be a reference to the Gqeberha’s colloquial name, the Windy City, which indicates a possible loan sign from spoken language. The mouthing of ‘PE’, a colloquial shortened version of Gqeberha’s previous name, Port Elizabeth, identifies this variant as a place-name sign.Gqeberha has two lexical variations. Gqeberha 01, Gqeberha 06 and Gqeberha 08 are all initialised signs that differ on phonological level from each other. Gqeberha 11 is a distinct descriptive variant.
