Gariganus

At Namaǃ Gari = 'Heart, Zah', andǃ Ganu = 'Der Arring' (Kr.-. 1969 NW Resp. 92 and 90). The statement does not address. It is indeed the question whether it is, as we think, the same name is as Garaganis. Garaganis is declared by Rust as 'Aloeplatz'. Pastor Rust's headquart was Jarelank Keetmanshoop, so that one would expect theoretically that he should have been better informed and that his statement deserves the preference. Then not the 'place of the hard arm ring', but the 'alewe- or quiver tree', which is probably better fit into the pattern of naming the Khoekhoen. One could also think of ǀ Gari-growth grass; It would also be patternable for a statement, but then we stop against the objection of Dr. Vedder T.O.V. The second member with which we do not know. APN 1951 122 pressed his Seal on the Spell Gariganus. The station lies on the eponymous farm No. 157.

Description
eng At Namaǃ Gari = 'Heart, Zah', andǃ Ganu = 'Der Arring' (Kr.-. 1969 NW Resp. 92 and 90). The statement does not address.

Pastor Rust's headquart was Jarelank Keetmanshoop, so that one would expect theoretically that he should have been better informed and that his statement deserves the preference.

afr By Nama ǃgari = 'hart, zah', en ǃganu = 'der Armring' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW resp. 92 en 90). Die verklaring spreek mens nie aan nie. Dit is inderdaad die vraag of dit nie, soos ons meen, dieselfde naam is as GARAGANIS nie. Garaganis word deur Rust verklaar as 'Aloeplatz'. Pastor Rust se hoofsetel was jarelank Keetmanshoop gewees, sodat mens teoreties sou verwag dat hy beter op hoogte moes gewees het en dat sy verklaring die voorkeur verdien. Dan nie die 'Plek van die harde armring' nie, maar die 'Alewee- of Koker- boomplek', wat seker beter inpas by die patroon van naamgewing van die Khoekhoen. ’n Mens sou ook kon dink aan ǀgari- = kweekgras; dit sou ook patroonmatig vir ’n verklaring bruikbaar wees, maar dan stuit ons opnuut teen die beswaar van dr Vedder t.o.v. die tweede lid waarmee ons geen raad weet nie. APN 1951 122 het sy seel gedruk op die spelling Gariganus. Die stasie le op die gelyknamige plaas nr 157.
