Description
eng At a fountain, Le east of Kabiesberg (= Spioenkop) and northern of 'Sentinel Peak' (corresponding page of Topo Cadastral Series 1965). The t 'is for the clapping sound; Undoubtedly like Namaǃ (g) AWI or Gawi = 'Spi- iamen' (Rust 1960 DNW 58), viz. With a view to wild hunt in first instance. Place names Like Gabies, only west of this T'gabies, Kabies Pan near, Spioenkop located at the aforementioned, sentinels Peak and more in this region, all means 'spy, peep, on the lookout', and linguistic connection, Make sure the diversion. 'Spy', or 'burden'.
afr By ’n fontein, le oos van Kabiesberg (= Spioenkop) en noordelik van 'Sentinel Peak' (ooreenstemmende blad van Topo-kadastrale reeks 1965). Die T’ is vir die klapklank; ongetwyfeld soos Nama ǃ(g)awi of gawi = 'spi- onieren' (Rust 1960 DNW 58), nl. met die oog op wildjag in eerste instan- sie. Plekname soos GABIES alwaar, net wes van hierdie T'Gabies, KABIES SE PAN daar naby, Spioenkop geleë by die voorgenoemde, Sentinels Peak en meer in hierdie streek, almal betekenende 'spioeneer, loer, op die uitkyk wees', en taalkundige aansluiting, maak die afleiding seker. 'Spioen-', of 'loerplek'.
