ǁGaraxaǃnâb
The quiver tree is in Nama 11Gara, cf. Kr. 1969 NW 83). If we accept the guidance of our spokesman above, then the constituent parts are well possible: 11Gara- = Kokerboom, ga- like Nama -Xa- = many, andǃ After in (ie in-the-gorge), plus the ml. EKV. -B, determining the longish gap understanding. According to this, the -kloof was then added from Afrikaans as generic term. The 'gap in which many quiver trees stand'

Hiervolgens is die -kloof dan uit Afrikaans toegevoeg as generiese term. Die 'Kloof waarin baie kokerbome staan'
