ǁKhamab / ǁKhamabeb
A Hartebeest is in Nama ǀǀ Khama (Rust 1966 DNN 29). This corresponds to the census card's Tclama; The TCǃ is an attempt to give the suction patch and the accompanying field (ǀǀ K-) in writing. Hartbees- Translate the TCǃ (K) ama of the river name. There is no doubt about this. The -bie- is a place nominator, the -p (ml. Ekv.) Determinating the river name here. This Tclamabiep, D.I. ǀǀ Khamabeb, means 'Hartbees River', runs on the census card in the TClouly Group River, but in the topogra- fiese series 1974 sheet 2816 Alexander Bay is the TClouly group today the 'Kahams River', M.A.w. The current Kaham - is the Old ǀǀ Kham, but currently with a bisyylabic pronunciation of the old monosyllabic -kham, and the current Kahams River is also applied to the old tclamabiep replaced. The current Kahams River is therefore a longer river than the old, it includes the old plus the old TCloulyRoup. Compliance in precise location and in sound between the old (ǀǀ k) Amabiep and the current ǀǀ Khamabrivier is the decisive proof. On the mentioned topographical map of the river also a water source called 'Kahams', and of course it will have the same meaning. On the Topo Cadastral Card 1966, no one of the names appears.
