Nabies(Berg)

a mountain located northeast of Steinkopf. It is the same location as Laidler's NABIP 2917 which he declares with 'Big Stomach'. Census card and Veillet's returns have a suction consonant in front, which then apparentlyǃ must be if it is connected to Nama for 'stomach / abdomen / belly', viz. ǃ Na-B, who is sometimes heard for 'abdominal', as told by Krenz FK 1976 farmer recording. The -bie- is placemend. The reason for the name is given by Laidler, alright, 'Stomach Mountain'.

Description
eng a mountain located northeast of Steinkopf. It is the same location as Laidler's NABIP 2917 which he declares with 'Big Stomach'.

afr n Berg geleë noordoos van Steinkopf. Dit is dieselfde ligging as Laidler se NABIP 2917 wat hy verklaar met 'Big Stomach'. Sensuskaart en Veillet se opgawes het ’n suigkonsonant vooraan, wat dan klaarblyklik die ǃ moet wees as dit te verbind is met Nama vir 'maag/buik/pens', nl. ǃna-b, wat soms ook gehoor word vir 'buikloop', soos meegedeel deur Krenz FK 1976 Boer Aantekening. Die -bie- is plekbenoemend. Die rede vir die naam word deur Laidler aangegee, alwaar, 'Maagberg'.
