Description
eng The most noting is certain that in all our literature we have not received a statement of the name, nor at Alexander who usually went out of his way to interpret the inland names, nor at Kienley that much attention had attention. Everyone on one to what the sucking consonant gives up, write it with the cerebralǃ. Sprigade and Moise are called a change ruling Kaib. On the river (exit -B / -P usually indicates that the name can have on a river) was also an important 'village' or recruit at a sucking where it was stretched. Willem Swartbooi lived here. Now we support Mr Christian for a statement. He connects it to Namaǃ Kha = ' The spelling on the maps of survey is 'G (h) AA-B', on the map of the Surveyor General 1972 'GAB', which we chose for the Lemma. Just north of the Gabrivier Le the Gabib Mountains. We don't know if there is a connection.

afr Die opmerklikste is seker dat ons in al ons lektuur geen enkele keer ’n verklaring van die naam gekry het nie, ook nie by Alexander nie wat gewoonlik uit sy pad gegaan het om die inlandse name te interpreteer, ook nie by Kroenlein nie wat daarvoor veel aandag gehad het. Almal op een na wat die suigkonsonant opgee, skryf dit met die serebrale ǃ. Sprigade en Moisei noem ’n wisseluitspraak Kaib. Aan die rivier (uitgang -b/-p dui gewoonlik aan dat die naam op ’n rivier betrekking kan he) was ook ’n belangrike 'village' of werf by ’n suiping waar daar uitgespan is. Willem Swartbooi het ’n tydlank hier gewoon. Nou steun ons op mnr Christian vir ’n verklaring. Hy verbind dit met Nama ǃkha = 'bliihen... ǃkhas = die Bliite' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 227), wat geurryk is en die geur wyd versprei, dus 'Geurrivier', vanweë die bloeiende kruidgewasse daar. Die spelling op die kaarte van Opmeting is 'G(h)aa-b', op die kaart van die landmeter-generaal 1972 'Gab', wat ons vir die lemma gekies het. Net noord van die Gabrivier le die Gabibberge. Ons weet nie of daar ’n verband is nie. Krenz FK 1976 Boer Aantekening skryf hierby, ken- nelik afgaande op die klankassosiasie, 'Was die Viktoriane sku vir die ver- taling? Xaab = penis'. Indien juis, is die betekenis wat mnr Krenz gee, seker die rede hoekom niemand die verklaring wou aanbied nie. Ons glo egter nie dat sy verklaring juis is nie. Die kenner Th. Hahn sou dit dan anders gespel het, nl. as xab. Ons vind die verklaring van mnr Christian voorlopig die beste.
