Haramoep
Haramoep is the name of a farm western of Pofadder and still in the Namaqualand district. On the farm the 'Haramoep Mountains', with a land meter beacon on it. On some older cards, the names with the warning rule of Naramoep and Mountains appear. These names have already been discussed in th a ** 523. One of our sayings quoted there, Mr P van Heer, also believes that the place name relates to the person-based Khoekhoen name of Jonker Afrikaner (c. 1790-1861) , The second of the four sons of Jager Afrikaner. The member's (with the -B, here a -p, of the ml. ECV.) Is like Nama -Mu-B = eye, and the first member Hara is like Nama ǀ Hara- = 'FRATTE' ( Kr.-R. 1969 NW 158). The correspondence between the names of the farm and the mountain range on the one hand, and from the well-known captain on the other, is indeed great. Did the captain stay there, and got the mountain by transfer his name of the captain? Another question is, viz. which was the correct lounge of the mountain name originally. We have no recording from the early days that give the answer to this. Therefore, other possible may be provisionally taken into account, eg. that the first member such as Nama Hara = 'Weit, Breit' (Kr. 1969 NW 153), as was mentioned by a local Khoekhoen in th a ** (Tap) and by us as the preferred statement been regarded, for 'Vergelegieslik / view'
