Arachabnu(B)
The -nu (b) is indeed = black, but the arachab is actually ARICHA, with a second vowel. In his note, Mr Krenz reconciled the facts to our disposal of linguistically and understandably, alone, the facts to Him and we do not offer correctly. Dr Mossop supports Dr. Vedder (including VRV 15 12) who had insufficient information themselves. The statement apparently has nothing to do with a blunt finger.

Die -nu(b) is inderdaad = swart, maar die Arachab- is eintlik Aricha-, met ’n -i- as tweede klinker. Mnr Krenz het in sy Aantekening die feite tot ons beskikking taalkundig en begripmatig met mekaar versoen, alleen is die feite aan horn en ons nie korrek aangebied nie. Dr Mossop steun synersyds op dr Vedder (aldaar VRV 15 12) wat self ongenoegsame gegewens gehad het. Die verklaring het blykbaar niks met ’n stomp vinger te doen nie.
