In the sense of 'rhino' is the first component like today in Nama Inaba, the -gha such as Nama -Xa, the voltuffs for 'rich in, abundant', and 'chewing like in Old Cape Cou, Khoe, Ku etc. for 'mountain' (Hott 217-8), in Nama today develarized to ǀ onion. The 'mountain where abundant rhinos is'. If 'rough' is an equivalent of 'NaBA', then we have no advice, but it is likely to understand as an alternative name.

afr Die aksenttekens staan vir suigklapklanke. In die sin van 'renoster' is die eerste komponent soos vandag in Nama Inaba-, die -gha soos Nama -xa-, die omvangsuffiks vir 'ryk aan, volop', en 'kou soos in Ou-Kaaps cou, khoe, ku ens. vir 'berg' (HOTT 217-8), in Nama vandag gedevelariseer tot ǀui-. Die 'Berg waar volop renosters is'. As 'ruig' ’n ekwivalent van 'Naba-' is, dan het ons daarmee geen raad nie, maar dit is waarskynlik te begryp as 'n alter- natiewe naam. Ons glo egter dat 'ruig' nie ’n ekwivalent van 'Naba-' is nie. Gordon se kaart nr 3, oorgeteken as kaart 15 in Forbes 1965 PTSA, gee suid van Graaff-Reinet aan 'Rhinoster Berg dog sijn alien de Swarte Ruggens...' 'Swarteruggens, 'Nabagha 'kou' van Gordon se ms., korreleer met 'Rhinoster Berg...Swarte Ruggens' van sy kaart. Op die Topo-kadastrale reeks 1966 vel 3224 Graaff-Reinet is daar op hoogte 3224 DB/3225 CA die plaas 'Rhenoster Kop' nr. Som. Q. 16-2, en op die grens tussen die plaas en Rooy Kuyl nr Som. Q. 16-2 die kop 'Renosterkop' met opmetingsbaken nr 65. Dit korreleer met Gordon se Nabaghakou. Ons meen dat die inlandse naam vertaald in die naam van die plaas en die kop voortlewe.
