Toubep, Toubeep

Spellings are t'obep, t'oubeep, t'oubeep and pulled together to queueback. On the farm name list we have T'oubeP a 5800/1958 and T'oubeP ken.q.2-19, District Kenhardt, all at 2920. Veillet game the head UBEEP head. The T 'is clearly an old suction consonant. Therefore, the old or o- next on the t or t'- vote does not match nama au = bitter, because -ou- (-au-) has no suction consonant, but it corresponds to Nama ǀ u = Brak, or ╪o- = salt. The be- is a nominator of a place, so about the 'brackish', 'salt'. For 'flip-outs' we have not ties with words that clearly bear that meaning. The spelling seems suspect that the name is old, perhaps too old for a wiping with this application. We believe the spelling t'ou- the association called with a 'wip-rope' and therefore rested on a mere coincidence.

Description
eng Spellings are t'obep, t'oubeep, t'oubeep and pulled together to queueback. On the farm name list we have T'oubeP a 5800/1958 and T'oubeP ken.q.2-19, District Kenhardt, all at 2920. Veillet game the head UBEEP head. The T 'is clearly an old suction consonant. Therefore, the old or o- next on the t or t'- vote does not match nama au = bitter, because -ou- (-au-) has no suction consonant, but it corresponds to Nama ǀ u = Brak, or ╪o- = salt. The be- is a nominator of a place, so about the 'brackish', 'salt'. For 'flip-outs' we have not ties with words that clearly bear that meaning.

afr Spellings is T’Obep, T’oubeep, T'Oubep en saamgetrek tot Toubeep. Op die plaasnaamlys het ons T’Oubep A 5800/1958 en T’Oubep Ken.Q.2-19, distrik Kenhardt, almal op 2920. Veillet spel die kop Ubeep Kop. Die T’ is duidelik ’n ou suigkonsonant. Die Ou- of O- volgende op die T- of T’- stem dus nie ooreen met Nama au = bitter nie, omdat -ou- (-au-) geen suigkonsonant het nie, maar dit stem wel ooreen met Nama ǀu = brak, of ╪o- = sout. Die be- is ’n benoemer van 'n plek, so ongeveer die 'Brakplek', 'Soutplek'. Vir 'Wip- touplek' het ons nog nie bande met woorde wat duidelik daardie betekenis dra nie. Die spelwyse laat vermoed dat die naam oud is, miskien te oud vir 'n wiptou met hierdie toepassing. Ons meen dat die spelling T'ou- die asso- siasie met ’n „wip-tou' opgeroep het en dus op ’n blote toevalligheid berus.
