Gameib
The member ǀǀ Gam - at a river name is undoubtedly like Nama ǀǀ gam (i) - = water, also river. The -ei-B without suction patch is possible like Nama ei [Ai] = 'Vorne, Zuerst (signal)', also 'Gess, the progressite, the Oberfläche' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 60), so possibly the ' Water Level 'or' Water River '. Located south of Keetmanshoop.

afr
Die lid ǀǀGam- by ’n riviernaam is ongetwyfeld soos Nama ǀǀgam(i)- = water, ook rivier. Die -ei-b sonder suigklap is moontlik soos Nama ei [ai] = 'vorne, zuerst (sein)', ook 'Gesicht, die Vorderseite, die OberFläche' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 60), dus moontlik die 'Watervlakte' of 'Waterplekrivier'. geleë suid van Keetmanshoop.
