What is 'wheel' in Afrikaans?

Answer 1

"Wiel" is an Afrikaans equivalent of "wheel."

The wheel may be said to be more or less taken for granted in modern living. But it actually represents an absolutely pivotal step that a civilization must take in order to survive and advance. For some time, the wheel was thought to have been invented in Mesopotamia over 5,000 years ago. But scientists actually have found in their research competing points of origin: in Mesopotamia along with the Balkans, central Europe and the northern Caucasus.
