1776 F. Masson in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 66 297 We saw numbers of wild animals, and in particular a variety of the Zebra, called by the Hottentots Opeagha.

1797 Encycl. Brit. VI. 713/1 The Hottentots also distinguish them from the former, by the names of quagga and opeagha.

1851 Encycl. Americana (new ed.) X. 448/1 The quagga has received a variety of names from authors; thus Pennant terms it the quacha, Masson the opeagha, and Sparrman calls it by the name adopted.
