We found no statement somewhere. Dr Van Vrede believes the name is 'a distortion of the original name; The composition is unclear '(1961 Origin 370). Keboes is put. Q. 1-36, D.W.S. It is reasonably old, as the name has already been entered in Folio 1. A change ruling is 'Kaboes'. Keboes lies on the left bank of the Oranjeri- four, 32 km southwestern of Upington, and across Kanoneiland. It opens a fascinating explanation possibility. A cannon and a powder gun or snaphane is a kind of weapon that did not know the old Khoekhoen. With their acquaintance with that, they made their own name. In 1655, three years after Van Riebeeck's landing, De Flacourt signs up for it: 'Cabou, mousquet', and exchange forms occur repeatedly, so at Witsen 1691 'K'habou'. Barrow 1797 has a whole story about the 'KABOO' Flint Against The Cover of the Pan, and With Outstretched Lips, A Full Mouth, and Prolonged Sound, The Boo Sends Forward The Report ', according to Barrow 1797). For a cannon, the same word is used as the Pangeweer, or else The cannon called a 'Great-Pang Wear', in Old Cape eg. at Witsen 1691 'Kaey K'habou' (such as Nama with Kai -ǃ (K) AWU-.) For more details on old finding farms cf. Hott 276 and 330. This old name for a podding / cannon is still living in Nama asǃ . 44 in th Cape, recorded oa deu r kolbe 1708, viz. 'PU MAKUM Good', understand: Good What Poeǃ Make, where we wrote in Poe (Kolbe in German, and so he spelled it: PU) get the same imitation of the explosion sound as in the Boepe Kaboe-The name of Kanoneiland has stories with many variants we quote one From SESA 1972 6 292. It returns a full century in time. 'According to Tradition the name Originated at the Time of the Punitive Expeditions Against The Korana Freebooters. In Oct. 1878 The Cape Artillery Corps, Commanded at Col. Zachary Bayly and Assisted by A Burgher Command and the Police, Pursued the Stock Thieves Till They Reached Their Island Stronghold. IT is Said That Six Koranas Made a 'Canon' From The Trunk of a Large Aloe To Beat Off Their Assailants. They Loaded this Home-Made Cannon With Powder and Shot, Aimed It at Their Pursuers, and Discharged It by Means of A Torch. When The Smoke Cleared, Six Men Were Found Lying Alongside It '. According to Mr A.K. Cornelissen told us in a conversation in 1977, the Koranakapte would have encouraged his people with the words: 'Men, if it looks like this, just think how it should look where the bullet fell'. To summarize: For us, the following representation may be compatible in its main issues with the facts. Kanone Island got his name from an event or two that was played a century ago and involving a cannon or cannons. One of the parties was the Khoekhello-Koranas, namely those who stood under captain Klaas Lukas. The cannon, in fact, all coarsely, was known in their language from thenǃ Kaboe-S, also expressedǃ Keboe-S, just like. Besides cannon also heard Kenon. They have the island following the event called Ka- or Keboes (island), his Korananam. But the island finally received and retained its Afrikaans form. However, the Korananaam was preserved for a place on the adjoining riparian area, enrolled on the topographical map of 1975 as 'Kaboes', and for the farm Keboes who still border on the Orange River, and before its subdivision (when 'blue head' No. Ken. Q. 1-14 became loose), also grown to Kanoneiland. Keboes then means 'Ka- none', a name that has passed on the land, and from the island that no longer His old Korananam does not carry, but the Afrikaans equivalent. As the sign writing Krenz FK 1979 is still farming at 'Nama: Lappus = Wahr, Auch Lappbes. Bei Daman War es in Alter Zeit 'Bau-ǃ Chaste'. ' Mr AK Cornelissen's manuscript on place names of Upington contain the following interesting piece of place history. 'It's important to know that the first mission church was built next to the Orange River on Keboes'

Ons het geen verklaring erens gevind nie. Dr Van Vreeden meen die naam is '’n verdraaiing van die oorspronklike naam; die samestelling is onduide- lik' (1961 Oorsprong 370). Keboes is plaas Ken. Q. 1-36, d.w.s. dit is be- paald redelik oud, aangesien die naam al ingeskryf is in folio 1. 'n Wissel- uitspraak is 'Kaboes'. Keboes le aan die linkeroewer van die Oranjeri- vier, 32 km suidwestelik van Upington, en regoor Kanoneiland. Dit open ’n boeiende verklaringsmoontlikheid. ’n Kanon en ’n kruitgeweer of snaphaan is ’n soort wapen wat die ou Khoekhoen nie geken het nie. Met hulle kennismaking daarmee het hulle daarvoor ’n eie naam gemaak. In 1655, drie jaar na Van Riebeeck se landing, teken De Flacourt daarvoor op: 'cabou, mousquet', en wisselvorme kom herhaaldelik voor, so by Witsen 1691 'k’habou'. Barrow 1797 het 'n hele storie oor die 'kaboo'. Voor die k- is ’n harde tongslag aangegee ('The ka is thrown out with a strong palatial stroke of the tongue, in imitation of the sound given by the stroke of the flint against the cover of the pan, and with outstretched lips, a full mouth, and prolonged sound, the boo sends forth the report', volgens Barrow 1797). Vir ’n kanon is dieselfde woord gebruik as vir die pangeweer, of anders word die kanon genoem ’n 'groot-pangeweer', in Ou-Kaaps bv. by Witsen 1691 'kaey k’habou' (soos Nama met kai-ǃ(k)awu-.) Vir meer besonderhede oor ou vindplase vgl. HOTT 276 en 330. Hierdie ou naam vir ’n pangeweer/kanon leef nog voort in Nama as ǃawu-, d.w.s. die velere k- het nou weggeval, soos met so baie Ou-Kaapse woorde in Nama gebeur het (kyk 5 C 1 of hi. 44 in TH A*). In die vorige eeu is dit vir Kora opgeteken as Ikabu- (ook die wisseling -w- en -b- is baie gewoon). Ons noem terloops nog ’n ander ou naam vir grofgeskut in Ou-Kaaps, opgeteken o.a. deur Kolbe 1708, nl. ‘pu makum goeds', verstaan: goed wat poeǃ maak, waar ons in poe (Kolbe het in Duits geskryf en daarom het hy dit gespel: pu) dieselfde nabootsing van die ontploffingsgeluid kry as in die -boe- van kaboe-.Die naam van Kanoneiland het stories met baie variante waarvan ons een aanhaal uit Sesa 1972 6 292. Dit voer ons ‘n voile eeu terug in die tyd. 'According to tradition the name originated at the time of the punitive expeditions against the Korana freebooters. In Oct. 1878 the Cape Artillery Corps, commanded by Col. Zachary Bayly and assisted by a burgher commando and the police, pursued the stock thieves till they reached their island stronghold. It is said that six Koranas made a ‘canon’ from the trunk of a large aloe to beat off their assailants. They loaded this home-made cannon with powder and shot, aimed it at their pursuers, and discharged it by means of a torch. When the smoke cleared, six men were found lying alongside it'. Volgens mnr A.K. Cornelissen ons in ’n gesprek in 1977 meegedeel het, sou die Koranakaptein sy mense aangemoedig het met die woorde: 'Manne, as dit hier so lyk, dink net hoe dit daar moet lyk waar die koeel geval het'. Om saam te vat: vir ons lyk dit of die volgende voorstelling in sy hoofsake met die feite versoenbaar kan wees. Kanoneiland het sy naam gekry van ’n gebeurtenis of twee wat ’n eeu gelede afgespeel is en waarby 'n kanon of kanonne betrokke was. Een van die partye was die Khoekhoensprekende Koranas, by name hulle wat onder kaptein Klaas lukas gestaan het. Die kanon, trouens alle grofgeskut, was in hulle taal van destyds bekend as ǃkaboe-s, ook uitgespreek ǃkeboe-s, net soos bv. naas kanon ook gehoor word kenon. Hulle het die eiland na aanleiding van die gebeurtenis genoem Ka- of Keboes(eiland), sy Korananaam. Maar die eiland het ten slotte die Afrikaanse vorm daarvan gekry en behou. Die Korananaam is egter bewaar vir ’n plek op die aan- grensende oewergebied, op die Topografiese kaart van 1975 ingeskryf as 'Kaboes', en vir die plaas Keboes wat nog aan die Oranjerivier grens, en voor sy onderverdeling (toe 'Blauws Kop' nr Ken. Q. 1-14 los daarvan geword het), ook aan Kanoneiland gegrens het. Keboes beteken dan 'Ka- nonplek', ’n naam wat op die belendende plaas oorgegaan het, en wel van die eiland af wat vandag nie meer sy ou Korananaam dra nie, maar wel die Afrikaanse ekwiwalent daarvan. As Kanttekening skryf Krenz FK 1979 Boer nog by 'Nama: lappus = Gewehr, auch lapboes. Bei Daman war es in alter Zeit ‘Bau-ǃkuis’.' Mnr AK Cornelissen se manuskrip oor Plekname van Upington bevat die volgende interessante stukkie plekgeskiedenis. 'Dis belangrik om te weet dat die eerste sendingkerk langs die Oranjerivier op Keboes gebou is'
