Of Vredes 1965 TVV 21/4 Oct. 1965 24 'Gnabas. The former Griquana name for the farm Wilberg ... The original name is ... converted and ... twisted. The name relates to the lime formation of the steep edge of the Ghaapplato. So possibly Gnabas from Kora ǀǀ after-b, horn ... = the horn '.

’n Ander moontlikheid wat horn vanself aandien, is die woord wat in Nama geskryf word ǃnaba-s, 'renoster', dus 'die Renosterplek', met -s as lokatief. Die topografiese alternatiewe 'kalk' en (miskien daarvan afgelêi?) 'wit' en 'steil' laat hulle in Ou-Kaaps of die ander ou dialekte nie met 'gnabas' verbind nie. INabas is dikwels ’n bestanddeel van ou plekname. Die G- in bostaande opgawe moet wel as suigklap gei'nterpreteer word, soos bv. dikwels in die ou skryfwyse gnoe vir ╪nu = 'swart', ook dr Van Vreeden het dit so begryp, blykens sy eie afleiding. Interessant dat sy ǀǀna-b, 'horing', juis aansluit by die 'renoster' met sy neushoring.
