The place lies on the highway of Springbok to Pofadder, apparently just within the Hester Malan field flower reserve, on the eastern side of this border the farm Ratel Kraal Nam. Q. 6-15. A ratchet (mellivora capensis) is in Nama o.a. ǀ Hariseb (Krenz FK 1979), ǀ Harebab (Rust 1960 DNW 32), alsoǃ Aus (Shortridge 1934 1 193). Everyone is quite too far from the ground word goubo- (the -ga- can be like nama -xa- = much, or like d = ga- = hole with ungods of water, or like = fga- = plain, etc.) Go on the sound, but also on the presence of the Aardvark here (cf.

Die plek le aan die hoofweg van Springbok na Pofadder, blykbaar nog net binne die Hester Malan-Veldblomreservaat, aan die oostelike kant hiervan grens die plaas Ratel Kraal Nam. Q. 6-15. ’n Ratel (Mellivora capensis) is in Nama o.a. ǀhariseb (Krenz FK 1979), ǀharebab (Rust 1960 DNW 32), ook ǃaus (Shortridge 1934 1 193). Almal staan heeltemal te ver van die grondwoord goubo- (die -ga- kan wees soos Nama -xa- = baie, of soos d=ga- = gat met oopgegrawe water, of soos =Fga- = vlakte, ens.) Af- gaande op die klank, maar ook op die aanwesigheid van die aardvark hier (vgl. KOEBOEGAS wat net wes van Rooigoubogab le), kan eerder gedink word aan Nama jkhuwu- = aardvark. Die pleknaam is hibridies. 'Die aardvark(gate, -vlakte) in die rooi grond'
