ǀHogomab
The colored people provided this information on our question whether there are places they know and who today have an Afrikaans or German name but previously had a namanam. The farm Bontos lies east of Keetmanshoop, his number is 66. For the linguistic aspects, Hoogas 2917 looks there of a cow (Goma-S), here of an OS (Goma-B). Bontos is the literal translated form. Hogomab told us no single card for this place. Possible is Hogomab in this case translated from Afrikaans, and not, as usual, vice versa.

Die Bruinmense het hierdie inligting verskaf op ons vraag of daar plekke is wat hulle ken en wat vandag ’n Afrikaanse of Duitse naam het maar wat vroeër ’n Namanaam gehad het. Die plaas Bontos le oostelik van Keetmanshoop, sy nommer is 66. Vir die taalkundige aspekte kyk HOGO- MAS 2917, daar van ’n koei (goma-s), hier van 'n os (goma-b). Bontos is die letterlike vertaalde vorm. Hogomab het ons op geen enkele kaart vir hierdie plek teegekom nie. Moontlik is Hogomab in hierdie geval vertaal uit Afrikaans, en nie, soos gewoonlik, andersom nie.
