Tnougab

T'nougab is located west of the Mission Station Pella in District Nama Qualand. Just southwest of T'nougab is 'Klein-Rosynbos', on the topographical range 1975 1:50 000 'Kleinrosyn'. On topographical grounds, a relationship between T'nougab and Kleinrosyn (forest) seems possible. The question is whether there is also a linguistic agreement. We believe. 'Rosin Forest' is in Nama = p6u- [╪au] (Rest 1960 DNW 50) that corresponds exactly to the member t'nou- of the place name; The t'- set here, namely the palata- le suction consonant and the -n- is the realization of what the nasal element has become. The second member of the place name, viz. -GA-, maybe the multiplicity morpheme such as Nama -Xa. The lock -b is the locative morphem masc. sing. Then T'nougab is 'the place (-b) rich (-exa) to raisin bushes (t'nou / ╪6u)'. The raisin forest is the Grewia Flava (Smith CA 1966 CNSAP 403).

Description
eng T'nougab is located west of the Mission Station Pella in District Nama Qualand. Just southwest of T'nougab is 'Klein-Rosynbos', on the topographical range 1975 1:50 000 'Kleinrosyn'. On topographical grounds, a relationship between T'nougab and Kleinrosyn (forest) seems possible. The question is whether there is also a linguistic agreement. We believe. 'Rosin Forest' is in Nama = p6u- [╪au] (Rest 1960 DNW 50) that corresponds exactly to the member t'nou- of the place name; The t'- set here, namely the palata- le suction consonant and the -n- is the realization of what the nasal element has become. The second member of the place name, viz. -GA-, maybe the multiplicity morpheme such as Nama -Xa. The lock -b is the locative morphem masc. sing. Then T'nougab is 'the place (-b) rich (-exa) to raisin bushes (t'nou / ╪6u)'. The raisin forest is the Grewia Flava (Smith CA 1966 CNSAP 403).
afr T’Nougab is ten suidweste van die sendingstasie Pella in distrik Nama- kwaland geleë. Net suidwes van T’Nougab is 'Klein-Rosynbos', op die Topografiese reeks 1975 1:50 000 'Kleinrosyn'. Op topografiese gronde lyk ’n verband tussen T’Nougab en Kleinrosyn(bos) moontlik. Die vraag is of daar ook ’n taalkundige ooreenkoms is. Ons meen van wel. 'Rosyntjie- bos' is in Nama =P6u- [╪au-] (Rust 1960 DNW 50) wat presies met die lid T’nou- van die pleknaam ooreenstem; die T’- stel hier naamlik die palata- le suigkonsonant voor en die -n- is die realisasie van wat die nasale element geword het. Die tweede lid van die pleknaam, nl. -ga-, is miskien die veelvuldigheidsmorfeem soos Nama -xa-. die slot -b is die lokatiefmorfeem masc. sing. Dan is T’Nougab 'Die plek (-b) wat ryk (-xa-) is aan rosyntjie- bosse (T'nou/╪6u)'. Die rosyntjiebos is die Grewia flava (Smith CA 1966 CNSAP 403).
