Goaypa
The T 'at Borcherds stands for a suction patch. There is no doubt about the meaning. It is equally equivalent to Nama ǀ The piece is, appears the translated form, such as Nama ǀ UI-B = stone, and the -a for 'river' is like Namaǃ Â-b. So literally: 'Blink + stone + river', reconstruct in Nama as ǀ khâu- ǀ UIB-ǃ â (b).

Die T’ by Borcherds staan vir ’n suigklap. Oor die betekenis heers daar geen twyfel nie. Dit is wel gelyk te stel met Nama ǀkôu- [ǀkhâu-] vir 'scheinen, strahlen, leuchten' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 242) vir die lid t’goa. Die -yp is, blykens die vertaalde vorm, soos Nama ǀui-b = klip, en die -a vir 'rivier' is soos Nama ǃā-b. Dus letterlik: 'Blink + klip + rivier', in Nama te rekonstrueer as ǀKhâu- ǀ uib-ǃā-(b).
