ǃNabadanas / ǃNawabdanas

The quotation from Albrecht only serves to indicate that the place name for a falling mountain has already surrendered its old native name. Mossop 1935 in a footnote at Wikar shares the necessary. 'The Hill, A Striking Landmark, Lies Between Kakamas and Augrabies Falls on the South Bank of the Orange. Shaped Like The Head of a Rhinoceros, a Projectory Ledge of Rock Represents The Horn. Nama: Inawas (Rhinoceros) Tanas [now Danas] (Head) '.

Description
eng The quotation from Albrecht only serves to indicate that the place name for a falling mountain has already surrendered its old native name. Mossop 1935 in a footnote at Wikar shares the necessary. 'The Hill, A Striking Landmark, Lies Between Kakamas and Augrabies Falls on the South Bank of the Orange. Shaped Like The Head of a Rhinoceros, a Projectory Ledge of Rock Represents The Horn. Nama: Inawas (Rhinoceros) Tanas [now Danas] (Head) '.
afr Die aanhaling uit Albrecht dien net om aan te dui dat die pleknaam vir 'n op- vallende berg vroeg reeds sy ou inheemse naam afgestaan het. Mossop 1935 in ’n voetnoot by Wikar deel die nodige mee. 'The hill, a striking landmark, lies between Kakamas and Augrabies Falls on the South bank of the Orange. Shaped like the head of a rhinoceros, a projectory ledge of rock represents the horn. Nama: INawas (rhinoceros) tanas [nou danas] (head)'.
