Description
eng Kaboos, also spelled Kaboes (topographical series 1974 sheet 3018 Loeriesfon- tein), is the name of farm Civ. Q. 20-18, District Calvinia, of a river 'Kaboes River' (said topographic skin) on the farm, a river nam- LIKE running out of southwest in the Krom River, and then it is the name of a crossroads of woe; The highway of Loeriesfontein runs over here. On the farm is also a homestead 'Loerkop' just about the 2 km of farmyard (topographical series 1974 sheet 3019 CB Brakfontein, scale 1:50 000), and north of this Loerkop lies another louder 921 meters high.

afr Kaboos, ook gespel Kaboes (Topografiese reeks 1974 vel 3018 loeriesfon- tein), is die naam van plaas Civ. Q. 20-18, distrik Calvinia, van ’n rivier 'Kaboesrivier' (genoemde Topografiese vel) op die plaas, ’n rivier naam- lik wat van suidwes af in die Kromrivier uitloop, en dan is dit die naam van ’n kruispunt van wee; die hoofweg van loeriesfontein af loop hier verby. Op die plaas is ook ’n opstal 'loerkop' net oor die 2 km van die plaaswerf af (Topografiese reeks 1974 vel 3019 CB Brakfontein, skaal 1:50 000), en noordelik van hierdie loerkop le nog ’n loerkop 921 meter hoog. En ten slotte, die Namawoord ǃkha = 'schielen' (Rust 1960 DNW 38), d.w.s. loer, vir die eerste komponent van die plaasnaam, maak dit baie moontlik dat Kaboos/-boes beteken 'loerplek', nl. op wild.
