Description
eng In this part, we declared Kaikaebis as means 'Great sand'. The alternative name for the place, viz. Kaitse-Eibis, holds o.i. Semantics related to the statement. Kaitse is then as Nama ǀǀ Khaese = 'San-Dutter', ei- [ai] = 'face', 'plain', 'surface'. 'Sandy plain'
afr In hierdie deel het ons KAIKAEBIS verklaar as betekenende 'Groot- sand'. Die alternatiewe naam vir die plek, nl. Kaitse-eibis, hou o.i. semantics verband met die verklaring. Kaitse is dan soos Nama ǀǀkhaese = 'san- derig', ei- [ai-] = 'gesig', 'vlakte', 'oppervlakte'. 'Sanderige vlakte'
