Description
eng The sharp and the blunt accents suggest suction plugs. The ingredients are in after. ǀ Ami-B = Ostrich, in Old Cape Ammi, Ammy etc. (Hott 508), and then ╪ko-b = leg, 'Knochen' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 249), buy in Old Cape; The name probably relates to a heap of skeletons of ostriches. The national name is merely president. However, in his first component, it still live in translated form, to us. In the district Willowmore there is a farm Vogelstruis emptiness (Lot A p.a. Q.2-8 and lot B p.a. Q.2-9) and a post office with the same name, now in Afrikaans, viz. Ostrich, Ong. 21 km north of Willowmore. (Cf. Topo Cadastral Card 1960 Skin 3322 Oudtshoorn). According to our establishment, Gordon's Amikoob and the names indicate vocrum emptiness and ostrich the same place. The ostrich legs then lay in the place that n.a.v.

afr Die skerp en die stomp aksente stel suigklappers voor. Die bestanddele is in Na. ǀami-b = volstruis, in Ou-Kaaps ammi, ammy ens. (HOTT 508), en dan ╪ko-b = been, 'Knochen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 249), in Ou-Kaaps koop; die naam het waarskynlik betrekking op ’n hoop geraamtes van volstruise. Die in- landse naam is bloot toevallig bewaar. Dit leef egter in sy eerste komponent nog in vertaalde vorm voort, na ons meen. In die distrik Willowmore is daar n plaas Vogelstruis leegte (lot A P.A. Q.2-8 en lot B P.A. Q.2-9) en 'n poskantoor met dieselfde naam, nou in Afrikaans, nl. Volstruisleegte, ong. 21 km noord van Willowmore. (Vgl. Topo-kadastrale kaart 1960 vel 3322 Oudtshoorn). Volgens ons vasstelling dui Gordon se Amikoob en die name Vogelstruis leegte en Volstruisleegte dieselfde plek aan. Die volstruisbene het dan in die plek gelê wat n.a.v. die bene vandag die naam dra van Volstruisleegte, d.w.s. die komponent ╪k(h)o-b of bene het uitgeval. Vgl. ook TSIMEKO.
