'''Henkries''' is a settlement near the [[Orange River]], 13 km west of [[Goodhouse]]. Derived from Khoekhoen, the name, also encountered as Henkrees, Henkeriss and Hamneries, means 'mountain slope'. Henkriesmond is also known as Increase, an example of [[popular etymology]], while the name Henkries has led to a story in which a dying man, found by [[Balis]], is said to have muttered he was 'hungry', which became Henkries.{{#tag:ref |{{cite book|last=Raper|first=Peter E.|title=Dictionary of Southern African Place Names|url=http://archive.org/stream/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames/SaPlaceNames#page/n205/mode/2up|publisher=Internet Archive|accessdate=28 August 2013|page=205|year=1987}} |name=dosapn}}▼
