Garibams, Garinams

For IGARIB or IGARIN look Gariep, one of the native names of the Orange River. Am-S is in Nama 'mouth', also from a river, 'the FlusSmiindung'. We have no firm proof which one of the two names is the oldest, Garibams or Oranjemund. According to inquiry, it seems that the namanaam for this place is currently in disuse.

afr Vir IGarib- of IGarin kyk GARIEP, een van die inboorlingname van die Oranjerivier. Am-s is in Nama 'mond', oordragtelik ook van ’n rivier, 'die Flussmiindung'. Ons het geen vaste bewys watter een van die twee name die oudste is nie, Garibams of Oranjemund. Volgens navraag lyk dit of die Namanaam vir hierdie plek tans in onbruik is.
