Nogab (Pool)
Linguistically, it is well accounted for, such as Namaǃ No- = Kikvors, Water Road (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 297). The -ga- is like Nama -XA for 'many', or perhaps like Nama ╪ga- = vlei, probably the first. Located south of Pofadder. 'Paddaryke pit / pool'. Krenz FK 1976 Boer this in his note also possible that the name means 'place of silence, atǃ Noxa'; We believe Mr Dixon, familiar with his homeland, is the best guide here.

Taalkundig is dit goed te verantwoord, soos Nama ǃno- = kikvors, waterpadda (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 297). Die -ga- is soos Nama -xa- vir 'baie', of miskien soos Nama ╪ga- = vlei, waarskynlik die eerste. geleë suidelik van Pofadder. 'Paddaryke kuil/poel'. Krenz FK 1976 Boer ag dit in sy Aantekening ook moontlik dat die naam beteken 'Plek van stilte, by ǃnoxa'; ons meen dat mnr Dixon, bekend met sy tuisland, hier die beste gids is.
