The member is like Nama Dao-B, 'trace, road, footpath, gap, gate', the genusuffix is omitted. The acent sign before the first member represents a suction patch. This word was kept in two dialects, in the eastern dialect it was recorded by Sparrman 1775-6 (T'nani) and shoppingmann 1788 for 'finger' (Hott 501), and in Kora Noent Meinhof 1930 123ǃ Nani-B But then for 'thumb', literally 'sixth (finger)', at Inani, the word for 'six'. The 'thumb' as 'six' must be understood. In the primitive counting process, the fingers are counted off the hand, first the five of the hand, and then the fingers of the other hand, starting at the thumb that will be 'six'. Here is one of the few cases where the native name is an alternative name, d. W.S. The Afrikaans name is not a translation thereof. Why it was called 'fingerad', no longer seems, possibly the gorges or rudens gave the impression that the environment's inefficios look like the fingers. Located northeast of George. There is also a 'Devilberg'. The names remind the difficult road that went over devil's kick for those who preferred the shorter road. Read about this O.A. In Yes Heese S.J.
