Koeboegas
The -ga- is probably the quantityuffix -xa of Nama (and means 'abundant to', 'many'). The ground word has a great parable with Nama ǀ Khubu-, ǀ Khuwu- = 'Das Erdschwein' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 254, the 'place where many also, also called earthquakes (Oycteropus afer) occur'. The Aardvark is found here (SESA 1970 1 2). If the lock part such as Nama = 1 = Ga- = 'the fläche, the ebene' (Kr.-R. 97), is, then translate with 'Aardomvlakte'.

Description

The -ga- is probably the quantityuffix -xa of Nama (and means 'abundant to', 'many'). The ground word has a great parable with Nama ǀ Khubu-, ǀ Khuwu- = 'Das Erdschwein' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 254, the 'place where many also, also called earthquakes (Oycteropus afer) occur'. The Aardvark is found here (SESA 1970 1 2). If the lock part such as Nama = 1 = Ga- = 'the fläche, the ebene' (Kr.-R. 97), is, then translate with 'Aardomvlakte'.

Die -ga- is hier waarskynlik die hoeveelheidsuffiks -xa- van Nama (en beteken ‘volop aan’, ‘baie’). Die grondwoord het 'n groot gelykenis met Nama ǀkhubu-, ǀkhuwu- = 'das Erdschwein' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 254, die 'Plek waar daar baie aard-, ook genoem erdvarke (Orycteropus afer) voorkom'. Die aardvark word hier aangetref (SESA 1970 1 2). Indien die slotdeel soos Nama =1= ga- = 'die Fläche, die Ebene' (Kr.-R. 97), is, dan te vertaal met 'Aardvarkvlakte'.
