ǃAbiǂgāb

The second member 'level (s)' (Nama ╪ga-b) is then translated from the original namanaam while preserving the first component that is still in Nama and which also occurs in other place names or deform. Kreenley writes itǃ Eany-S, in AFR. Mostly the 'Vaalbos', Tarchonanthus Camphoratus (Smith ca cnsap 476). 'Level' apparently joins the German 'Fläche'. Cf. Cups. It is also the name of a farm Abbevlack Nam.q. 3-1 on K 2917 AC.

afr Die tweede lid '-vlak(te)' (Nama ╪ga-b) is dan vertaal uit die oorspronklike Namanaam met behoud van die eerste komponent wat nog in Nama is en wat ook in ander plekname so of vervorm voorkom. Kroenlein skryf dit ǃáwe-s, in Afr. meestal die 'vaalbos', Tarchonanthus camphoratus (Smith CA CNSAP 476). 'Vlak' sluit blykbaar aan by die Duits 'Fläche'. Vgl. KOPPIES. Dit is ook die naam van ’n plaas Abbevlaack Nam.Q. 3-1 op K 2917 AC.
