Gaingas

It is possible to solve this welcome. On the mentioned maps Le Gingas, from west to east, between Keetmanshoop and Stamriet, relatively close to Laasgelkoemdc, and from North to South Le Gaingas just below 'Spitz-Head' (Kriegskarte's spelling) and above 'camelmund' Spitskop yet. On the SWA series 1968 Skin 2618 Keetmanshoop there is the complex 'Small Spitskop' No. 153, 'Spitzkoppe West' No. 138 and 'Spitzkoppe Ost' No. 159, all adjacent to each other, and apparently earlier one farm. In 1904 the southern Part of Spitzkop still Gaingas. Spitzkop (and its derivatives later) are clearly translating the old in-country name that has now been lost. The current Eisenstein No. 136 was undoubtedly part of the old Gaingas. The old name includes linguistically directly to re-recorded and yet to be heard for Spitskoppies 2115. We refer to the linguistic arguments, cf. th a * 409-410. It is coincidence that this old name for the Spitskop) Pies) of Keetmanshoop stayed. viz. at C. von francois.

Description
eng It is possible to solve this welcome. On the mentioned maps Le Gingas, from west to east, between Keetmanshoop and Stamriet, relatively close to Laasgelkoemdc, and from North to South Le Gaingas just below 'Spitz-Head' (Kriegskarte's spelling) and above 'camelmund' Spitskop yet. On the SWA series 1968 Skin 2618 Keetmanshoop there is the complex 'Small Spitskop' No. 153, 'Spitzkoppe West' No. 138 and 'Spitzkoppe Ost' No. 159, all adjacent to each other, and apparently earlier one farm. In 1904 the southern Part of Spitzkop still Gaingas. Spitzkop (and its derivatives later) are clearly translating the old in-country name that has now been lost. The current Eisenstein No. 136 was undoubtedly part of the old Gaingas. The old name includes linguistically directly to re-recorded and yet to be heard for Spitskoppies 2115.

afr Dit is moontlik om hierdie kluif op te los. Op die genoemde kaarte le Gaingas, van wes na oos, tussen Keetmanshoop en Stampriet, relatief na aan laasgenoemdc, en van noord na suid le Gaingas net onderkant 'Spitz- kopp' (Kriegskarte se spelling) en bokant 'Kameelmund' Spitskop be- staan nog. Op die SWA-reeks 1968 vel 2618 Keetmanshoop is daar die kompleks 'Klein Spitskop' nr 153, 'Spitzkoppe West' nr 138 en 'Spitzkoppe Ost' nr 159, almal aangrensend aan mekaar, en klaarblyklik vroeër een plaas. In 1904 was die suidelike deel van Spitzkopp nog Gaingas. Spitzkopp (en sy derivate van later) is duidelik die vertaling van die ou in- landse naam wat nou verlore gegaan het. Die huidige Eisenstein nr 136 was ongetwyfeld deel van die ou Gaingas. Die ou naam sluit taalkundig direk aan by GEINS wat opgeteken is en tot vandag toe nog gehoor word vir Spitskoppies 2115. Ons verwys daarheen vir die taalkundige argumente, vgl. TH A* 409-410. Dit is toeval dat hierdie ou naam vir die Spitskop) pies) van Keetmanshoop bewaar gebly het. nl. by C. von Francois.
