ǃHâuǁnâib

At Nama ǀǀ Nai = 'Sich Einimen Riemen Umgiirten' (Kr.-R. 274), andǃ Hou-B ǀǃ Hau-b] = 'Der Riemen, der Gurt' (Aid. 192). The nasaled vocal ofǃ Hou- is realized as a complex n- who included the (ǃ) H- in him, so it has now become in the usual pronunciation of the place name by Whites Nounaib (cf. Hott 181). 'Trapped or girded with a belt'. In fact, it is the change H and n- which has been encountered as many times. 5 d 6.

afr By Nama ǀǀnai = 'sich einen Riemen umgiirten' (Kr.-R. 274), en ǃhou-b ǀǃhau-b] = 'der Riemen, der Gurt' (aid. 192). Die genasaleerde vokaal van ǃhou- is gerealiseer as medeklinker N- wat die (ǃ)H- in horn opgeneem het, sodat dit nou in die gewone uitspraak van die pleknaam deur Blankes Nounaib geword het (vgl. HOTT 181). 'Met ’n riem gespan of omgord'. In feite is dit die wisseling h- en n- wat so veel keer teengekom is, vgl. 5 D 6.
