ǃGoxab
Ghoggab is 127, District Keetmanshoop, located at both banks of Lowen River and south of Keetmanshoop. The Afrikaans common name trans (also: trasiebos) is used here for the Acacia Hebeclada (Smith 1966 CNSAP 567), in Nama it is known as the GHO forest (also preserved in the town name Gochas). The -ga- is like Nama -Xa- = much, abundant, viz. to many transies. The ml. EKV. Genustry -B is probably here for a sprout or walk from the Lowen River on the farm, or for a local segment of the river.

Ghoggab is plaas nr 127, distrik Keetmanshoop, geleë aan albei oewers van lowenrivier en suid van Keetmanshoop. Die Afrikaanse volksnaam transiebos (ook: trassiebos) word hier gebruik vir die Acacia hebeclada (Smith 1966 CNSAP 567), in Nama is dit bekend as die ǃgho-bos (ook bewaar in die dorpsnaam GOCHAS alwaar). Die -ga- is soos Nama -xa- = baie, volop aan, nl. aan baie transiebosse. Die ml. ekv. genusteken -b is hier waarskynlik vir ’n spruit of loop van die lowenrivier op die plaas, of vir ’n plaaslike segment van die rivier.
