eng Place where the men came to their end

afr Plek waar die mans aan hulle einde gekom het

eng At ao-b = man, mv. masc. Is Ao-GU, the first member of the composition, plus toa = 'Aus signal, Aufhoren, Zu Ende' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 359 and Hahn), 'place where the men came to their end'. The story is best preserved by Backhouse. On our maps and lists, the beautiful name is no longer. Earlier, it named an island and a yard on the south side of Port Nolloth.

afr By ao-b = man, mv. masc. is ao-gu, die eerste lid van die samestelling, plus toa = 'aus sein, aufhoren, zu Ende gehen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 359 en Hahn), 'Plek waar die mans aan hulle einde gekom het'. Die verhaal is vir ons die beste bewaar deur Backhouse. Op ons kaarte en lyste kom die mooi naam nie meer voor nie. vroeër het dit ’n eilandjie benoem en ’n werf aan die suidekant van Port Nolloth.
