Sabies
Sabic is farm no Clw. Q. 7-37, District Namaqualand, located southwest of Garies where one of our two lives resides. In th a ** 997 we expressed the suspicion that the farm and the Sabicop might have received their names from the Sabbie tree. This is apparently forgotten. The names are related to rice ants, we now learn from the people there locally. We still have a place name that join the pronunciation of 'TSeibie' and 'Sebbie', cf. Tgybie (head). TSeibie and Sebbie are the pronunciation of the Whites of Nama Iglbe, for 'Hottentots Pray' derived from the termite nymphs or larvae. If Sabies exchange ruling of this word, it means the 'place where frost rice nests occur'. It is then in accordance with what we parties shared. If anyone believes that the distance between Sabies andǃ Gibe's is a little big to completely convince, then we show on a sentence in Dr. Vedder 1923 The Bergdama 1 75 'Es Gibt Noch Eine Zwite Art Fliegender Ameisen, the AM Spatings NahmithTag Voor Sonnuntergang Zu Schwarmen Pflegt. Werden Igabes Grannt '. They are the 'Knechte Grossen Ameisen'. Sabies may be conceivable to the Igabes ants that swipe at sunset. Sound manociative is well consistent and .i. There is an advantage over the statement of 'Hottentotsryfontein' ('fountain' because of the index of Sabie-S). The realization of the word inputǃ G- In Nama as S (in S-Abies) in Blank Mouth. sometimes as ts-. fell on.
