ǀAwaxorabeb

The exit is locativering. The member ǀ Aba 'Red' also comes in place as a wagon (with or without suction consonant). Schultze'sǃ Aba is printing error for ǀ Aba. The farm occurs on the census card 1891 as 'Redwater', also at Veillet S.j. Map so that the Afrikaans name was when a direct translation was. Neither Redwater Neither Abachorabeb arrives today as a farm name, at least not on the Topo-Cadastral Cerry series 1960 for the Namaqualand district.

afr Die uitgang is lokativerend. Die lid ǀaba 'rooi' kom in plekname ook voor as ǀawa (met of sonder suigkonsonant). Schultze se ǃaba is wel drukfout vir ǀaba. Die plaas kom op die Sensuskaart 1891 voor as 'Rooiwater', ook by Veillet s.j. kaart, sodat die Afrikaanse naam van toe ’n direkte vertaling was. Nòg Rooiwater nòg Abachorabeb kom vandag as plaasnaam voor, altans nie op die Topo-kadastrale kaartreeks 1960 vir die distrik Namakwaland nie.
