Description
eng Schultze also mentions the older alternative name, but does not declare one of the two. Mr Boois's statement at Schultime's second name seems to us, namely as consisting of ǀǀ Gana- = camel thorn tree, -xa- = abundant or many,ǃ After is a hitch and mean 'in', 'inside' Locative -B, so the 'place (-B) in which (ǃ to) very (-exa) stood' Flierthe place south of Beersba and to the Aub-tributary of the Grootfish River; It's no more farm name.
afr Schultze noem ook die ouer alternatiewe naam, maar verklaar nie een van die twee nie. Mnr Boois se verklaring by Schultze se tweede naam lyk vir ons juis, naamlik as bestaande uit ǀǀgana- = kameeldoringboom, -xa- = volop of baie, ǃna is ’n nasetsel en beteken 'in', 'binne', met lokatief -b, dus die 'Plek (-b) waarin (ǃna) baie (-xa) kameeldoringbome (ǀǀgana-) staan'. Flierdie plek le suid van Berseba en aan die Aub-sytak van die Grootvisrivier; dit is nie meer plaasnaam nie.
