Nara(P)
Read the 'C ǀ Narap' as Inarap. In this form not farm name. Again, we sometimes compare the for Namaqualand names to compare N and H (cf. 5 D 6 or NamTap and Hermaau) NW 168), and Narap is then the 'place (-B) of sit and look (ǃ N / Hara).' Survey's Narap correlates exactly with Veillet's Harras.

lees die 'Cǀnarap' as INarap. In hierdie vorm nie plaasnaam nie. Weer het ons die vir Namakwalandse name soms so opvallende wisseling van n- en h- (vgl. 5 D 6 of NAMTAP en HEERAAU), die Inara is te vergelyk met Nama lhara = 'zusehen, aufmerken' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 168), en NARAP is dan die 'Plek (-b) van sit en kyk (ǃn/hara-).' Opmeting se Narap korreleer presies met Veillet se Harras.
