Description
eng Nabee' is a farm on the road between Vanrhynsdorp and Kliprand. It borders on the southwide side for its full length to the farm 'Dorst Vlakte' over which the 'Klein-Riethrivier' flows. About 'Nabee' The 'Nebeep River' 'Thirst' is in Nama ǀǀ GA (Rest 1960 DNW 15). In Old Cape it is recorded as ǀǀ Ka-, ǀǀ A etc. (Hott 249). With the well-known change of G and N and Van K and N (cf. th a * 46 at resp. 5 d 4 and 5 d 5) can be the first member of 'Nabeep', viz. 'Na-', with ǀǀ GA and 11ka Allophone, and it is possible that 'Dorst Vlakte' can be a (partial) translation of 'Nabeep'. We think there is another possibility. The Nabeapp River and the Klein-Riet River flow, especially at the Bolope of the Nabeei River, very close together, and both water in the Geelbekrivier.

afr Nabeep' is ‘n plaas op die pad tussen Vanrhynsdorp en Kliprand. Dit grens aan die suidwestekant vir sy voile lengte aan die plaas 'Dorst Vlakte' waaroor die 'Klein-Rietrivier' vloei. Oor 'Nabeep' vloei die 'Nabeeprivier'. Dit lyk dan of 'Nabeep', 'Klein-Rietrivier', 'Nabeeprivier' en 'Dorst Vlakte' 'n toponimiese kerngroep vorm. 'Dors' is in Nama ǀǀga (Rust 1960 DNW 15). in Ou-Kaaps is dit opgeteken as ǀǀka-, ǀǀa ens. (HOTT 249). Met die bekende wisseling van g en n en van k en n (vgl. TH A* 46 by resp. 5 D 4 en 5 D 5) kan die eerste lid van 'Nabeep', nl. 'Na-', met ǀǀga en 11ka allofoneer, en is dit moontlik dat 'Dorst Vlakte' 'n (gedeeltelike) vertaling van 'Nabeep' kan wees. Ons meen daar is 'n ander moontlikheid. Die Nabeeprivier en die Klein-Rietrivier vloei, veral by die boloop van die Nabeeprivier, baie naby aan mekaar, en albei water in die Geelbeksrivier uit. 'Riet' is in Nama ╪a- (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 32) wat goed ooreenstem met die lid 'Na-' van 'Nabeep'. Die tweede lid, -beep, is soos Nama -be-b, met -be- synde die lokatiefmor- feem, die slot -b die uitgang van die masc. sing., gewoon by riviere ens. Dan beteken 'Nabeep' 'Rietrivier'. Is dit miskien die 'Rietrivier' waar- mee die Klein-Rietrivier 'n teenstelling vorm?
