Ganap is farm no Fri. C.O. 1-15, an old farm to the Moshaweng (River), Systak of the Kuruman River, and the University of the Honeyvlei Reserve. Apparently there were camel thorn trees when the area was inhabited by Koranas, such as Nama (and Kora) ǀǀ Gana- = camel thorn tree, Acacia Giraffe. Khoekhow names in this area are now extremely rare, they have been replaced or adapted to the language of the Tswana that they mostly became opaque.

Ganap is plaas nr Vr. C.O. 1-15, ’n ou plaas aan die Moshaweng(rivier), sytak van die Kurumanrivier, en suidelik van die Heuningvlei-reservaat. Blykbaar was daar nog kameeldoringbome toe die gebied deur Koranas bewoon was, soos Nama (en Kora) ǀǀgana- = kameeldoringboom, Acacia giraffae. Khoekhoense name in hierdie omgewing is nou uiters skaars, hulle is vervang of sodanig aangepas by die taaleie van die Tswana dat hulle vir ons meestal ondeursigtig geword het.
