Gobas

Gobas, Farm No. 134, Dist. Keetmanshoop, and station 10 km from town, Le southwest of the town, to the main road to Seeheim. It is not the same place to the Lowen River, spelled ╪K (H) Obas = tick. The cobas lie on S 2618 CC (not on CA). Between the two nearby places must be clearly distinguished. This Gobas, farm No. 134, is also heard as Kowas. The striking is that no single spokesman except Dr Budack writes a suction consonant for it, nor Hahn. The statement for Gobas 134 must be different from 'tick', but on Gobas, of course, the place ╪k-hobas le can refer to Dr Budack. About the meaning of Gobas (without suction consonant in front), we found no clear instruction. We believe there are in direct directions. The gu- (without suction flap) of the river where gobas lies means 'sheep', cf. Guachab, and near his outwriting in the Grootfish River also lies a 'Schaapplaats' No. 121, east of Seeheim, and the old inland name of Seeheim itself, are all fingers that our Gobas in its first component may be related to Nama gu- = sheep.

Description
eng Gobas, Farm No. 134, Dist. Keetmanshoop, and station 10 km from town, Le southwest of the town, to the main road to Seeheim. It is not the same place to the Lowen River, spelled ╪K (H) Obas = tick. The cobas lie on S 2618 CC (not on CA). Between the two nearby places must be clearly distinguished. This Gobas, farm No. 134, is also heard as Kowas. The striking is that no single spokesman except Dr Budack writes a suction consonant for it, nor Hahn. The statement for Gobas 134 must be different from 'tick', but on Gobas, of course, the place ╪k-hobas le can refer to Dr Budack. About the meaning of Gobas (without suction consonant in front), we found no clear instruction. We believe there are in direct directions. The gu- (without suction flap) of the river where gobas lies means 'sheep', cf. Guachab, and near his outwriting in the Grootfish River also lies a 'Schaapplaats' No. 121, east of Seeheim, and the old inland name of Seeheim itself, are all fingers that our Gobas in its first component may be related to Nama gu- = sheep.
afr Gobas, plaas nr 134, dist. Keetmanshoop, en stasie daarop 10 km van dorp, le suidwes van die dorp, aan die hoofpad na Seeheim. Dit is nie dieselfde plek ten suide daarvan aan die lowenrivier nie, gespel ╪K(h)obas = bosluis. Daar- die Kobas le op S 2618 CC (nie op CA nie). Tussen die twee nabymekaarliggende plekke moet duidelik onderskei word. Hierdie Gobas, plaas nr 134, word volgens die Kriegskarte ook gehoor as Kowas. Die opvallende is dat geen enkele segsman behalwe dr Budack ’n suigkonsonant daarvoor skryf nie, ook nie Hahn nie. Die verklaring vir Gobas 134 moet anders wees as 'bosluis', maar op Gobas kan natuurlik die plek ╪K-hobas le waarna dr Budack verwys. Oor die betekenis van Gobas (sonder suigkonsonant vooraan) het ons geen duidelike aanwysing gevind nie. Ons meen dat daar in- direkte aanwysings is. Die Gu- (sonder suigklap) van die riviertjie waar Gobas le, beteken 'skaap', vgl. GUACHAB, en naby sy uitwatering in die Grootvisrivier le ook ’n 'Schaapplaats' nr 121, oos van Seeheim, en die ou inlandse naam van Seeheim self, is almal vingerwysings dat ons Gobas in sy eerste komponent go- moontlik in verband staan met Nama gu- = skaap.
