Tsamab
Smith 1966 CNSAP 470 describes the Tsamm or Citrullus Lanatus and its thirsty properties. The -B is also local, so the 'place (-B) of the Tsamma' - in the name itself there is no part for 'nice', as mentioned in the translation of Mr Boshoff, it was thought. Tsamab is farm No. 57, Dist. Karasburg.

Smith 1966 CNSAP 470 beskryf die tsamma of Citrullus lanatus en sy dorslessende eienskappe. Die -b is ook lokativerend, dus die 'Plek (-b) van die tsamma' - in die naam self is daar geen deel vir 'lekker' nie, soos genoem in die vertaling van mnr Boshoff, dit is bygedink. Tsamab is plaas nr 57, dist. Karasburg.
