eng Apriels K 1977 Former teacher and Four other Khoekhoen of Aroab speaked 'Ganais, it's actually ǀǀ Ganais. ǀǀ Gana is flying. Yes, it's flying, 'fly like a feel', yes '. Arndt H 1977 And three other Khoekhoen of Koes Conversion 'Ganais's real name is ǀ Hanais. It is a place that is very rough. So it is. The place is pretty bare to the house, but with the river down to nauts, you won't get through, of the + khoebosse, culture and grass and everything. It's my world, of course I grew up there '
afr Apriels K 1977 Oud-onderwyser en vier ander Khoekhoen van Aroab Ge- sprek 'Ganais, dit is eintlik ǀǀGanais. ǀǀGana is mos vlieg. Ja, dis vlieg, ‘Vlieg soos 'n voel', ja'. Arndt H 1977 en drie ander Khoekhoen van Koes Gesprek 'Ganais se regte naam is ǀHanais. Dit is ’n plek wat baie ruig is. So is dit ook. Die plek is redelik kaal na die huis se kant toe, maar met die rivier af na Naute se kant toe, jy sal nie daar deurkom nie, van die +khoebosse, kweek en gras en alles. Dis my wêreld, ek het natuurlik daar rond grootgeword'
Description
eng Ganais is farm No. 194, District Keetmanshoop, and is west of Aroab. Mr Arndt says he knows the farm well, he grew up there. And will be the best guide for us. He refers to Nautes No. 47, the Western neighbor farm at the Leagle River (Lowenfluss). She = Fkhoebosse is probably what Kr.-r. 1969 NW 249 Name 'EIN BRACKBUSCH'. The change G- (Anais) and H (Anais) are not uncommon, cf. Th a * 45 under 5 c 3. There is the one and others who may just be coincidences. We do not have a word for 'rough' that is satisfactorily connected to ǀ gan-. Just west of Ganais le the farm Bontos No. 66, earlier possible . Determine and name them for what they may be worth. Also imaginable is 'camel thorn tree' (ǀǀ Gana = Acacia giraffe, and ai- = plain).
afr Ganais is plaas nr 194, distrik Keetmanshoop, en le ten weste van Aroab. Mnr Arndt se dat hy die plaas goed ken, hy het daar rond grootgeword. en sal wel die beste gids vir ons wees. Hy verwys na Naute nr 47, die weste- like buurplaas aan die leeurivier (lowenfluss). Sy =Fkhoebosse is waar- skynlik wat Kr.-R. 1969 NW 249 noem 'ein Brackbusch'. Die wisseling g- (anais) en h-(anais) is nie ongewoon nie, vgl. TH A* 45 onder 5 C 3. Daar is tog die een en ander wat miskien net toevallighede is. Ons het in ons materiaal nie ’n woord vir 'ruig' wat bevredigend verbindbaar is met ǀha- nais in hierdie sin nie. Mnr Apriels en sy span het die plaasnaam in sy ou Namavorm uitgespreek met die laterale suigmedeklinker, nl. as ǀǀgan-. Net wes van Ganais le die plaas Bontos nr 66, vroeër moontlik aangrensend. 'Bont' is in Nama 11gani (Rust 1960 DNW 13). Met -ai- as betekenende gesig, voorsig, oppervlakte, vlakte (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 60, daar Ryns gespel as ei-s) kan Ganais ooreenstem met 'Bontvlakte', n.a.v. die digte of fuie boom- en struikbedekking van die bodem waarvan mnr Arndt vertel het. Of al die besonderhede net toevallighede is, kan ons nie bepaal nie en noem hulle vir wat hulle iets werd mag wees. Ook denkbaar is 'Kameeldoringboomvlakte' (ǀǀgana = Acacia giraffae, en ai- = vlakte).
