Karabee

It is an old farm, by 1890 in loan, southeast of Prieska's town grounds, now subscribed as No. 50. There are some derivatives, such as a station with the same name, a 'K. Annex 'and a' carbene ', (cf. topographical series 1975 sheet 1922 Prieska). The farm lies in the arm cavity of the asbestos-bearing Doring Mountains. Karabee no pr. Q. 1-6 is bounded for its full width on the south side by 'Kokerberg', on the mentioned topographical map 'Kokerboomkop'. The Nama Word for Kokerboom is ǀǀ Gara. In Old Cape it is Kara (Hott 345). This corresponds soundly to the first member Kara of the Place Name Carabee. It then looks linguistically as well as topographically possible that there may be a connection between 'Kokerberg' / 'Kokerboomkop' and 'Karabee'. The closing member of the name Karabee is then the locative morpheme such as Namabe-.

afr Dit is 'n ou plaas, teen 1890 in lening, suidoos van Prieska se dorpsgronde, nou ingeteken as nr 50. Daar is 'n paar derivate, soos 'n stasie met dieselfde naam, 'n 'K. Annex' en 'n 'Karabeeloop', (vgl. Topografiese reeks 1975 vel 1922 Prieska). Die plaas le in die armholte van die asbes- draende Doringberge. Karabee nr Pr. Q. 1-6 word vir sy voile breedte aan die suidekant begrens deur 'Keikams Poort', daarop is 'Kokerberg', op die genoemde Topografiese kaart 'Kokerboomkop'. Die Namawoord vir kokerboom is ǀǀgara-. in Ou-Kaaps is dit kara- (HOTT 345). Dit stem klankmatig goed ooreen met die eerste lid Kara- van die pleknaam Karabee. Dit lyk dan taalkundig sowel as topografies moontlik dat daar 'n verband kan wees tussen 'Kokerberg'/'Kokerboomkop' en 'Karabee'. Die slotlid van die naam Karabee is dan die lokatiefmorfeem soos Nama -be-.
