Kanabeam, Kanabium
The farm is partly on the Gamkab River, on its northern bank. The Gamkab's Dutch / German name was by 1900, 1910 and later 'Kameloorn- / Kameldorn River'. Gamchab, Gamkab. To the old name, the brook 'Gamelloop' reminds the Gamkab, east of Kanaboam, and then Kanaboam itself. The cana is clear in this topographical bond as Nama ǀǀ Gana- 'Kameldornbaum (Giraffen- Akazie)' (Rust 1960 DNW 34). The -a- is for a locative, and -am- = mouth, opening where water is. The 'place where the camel thorn tree / trees stand at a fountain / water opening'. The indefinite of the -be -am to -bIc is well joking, regardless of whether it is so meant or not

Die plaas le gedeeltelik aan die Gamkabrivier, aan sy noordelike oewer. Die Gamkab se Hollands/Duitse naam was teen 1900, 1910 en later nog 'Kameeldoorn-/Kameldornrivier’\ vgl. GAMCHAB, GAMKAB. Aan die ou naam herinner die spruit 'Kameelloop' wat in die Gamkab uitmond, oos van Kanabeam, en dan Kanabeam self. Die Kana- is in hierdie topografiese verband duidelik soos Nama ǀǀgana- 'Kameldornbaum (Giraffen- akazie)' (Rust 1960 DNW 34). Die -be- is vir 'n lokatief, en -am- = mond, opening waar water is. Die 'Plek waar die kameeldoringboom/bome by 'n fontein/wateropening staan'. Die verlatynsing van die -be-am tot -bium is wel grappig, ongeag of dit so bedoel is of nie
