eng Goa-AB (with this hyphen appears on official cards) is farm No. 64, it lies southeast of Keetmanshoop. And in that district. From left to right the three farms 'Dark Modder' No. 60, 'Goa-AB' No. 64, and 'Sand Modder' No. 73. With its location between two farms each with a component 'moder', it is certain that too The member goa- indeed is as with Mr Apriels and his team, familiar with these places, ie Goa- is like nama = bgoa- = mud, clay. However, we doubt our spokesmen -ǃ A-B = River and rather believe that the closing component should be understood as -ab = 'Loch (Allow. We see no river signed in on the map of the SWA series 1968 sheet 2618 Keetmanshoop. By the way, it will not surprise us as well as the number of neighboring farms on either side, viz. Dark Modder and Sand Modder, translated names from Khoens are not.

afr Goa-ab (met hierdie koppelteken verskyn die naam op amptelike kaarte) is plaas nr 64, dit le suidoos van Keetmanshoop. en in daardie distrik. Van links na regs le die drie plase 'Donkermodder' nr 60, 'Goa-ab' nr 64, en 'Sandmodder' nr 73. Met sy ligging tussen twee plase elkeen met ’n komponent '-modder', is dit seker dat ook die lid Goa- inderdaad is soos by mnr Apriels en sy span, bekend met hierdie plekke, d.w.s. Goa- is soos Nama =bgoa- = modder, klei. Ons betwyfel egter ons segsmanne se -ǃa-b = rivier en glo eerder dat die slotkomponent verstaan moet word as -ab = 'loch (allg.)' by Rust 1960 DNW 39, dus 'Moddergat'. Ons sien hier geen rivier ingeteken op die kaart van die SWA-reeks 1968 vel 2618 Keetmanshoop nie. Terloops, dit sal ons nie verbaas as ook die genoemde buurplase weerskante, nl. Donkermodder en Sandmodder, vertaalde name uit Khoekhoens is nie.
