Nabibis
The latter statement, via the farm owner from Namas on the spot, earns O.I. The preference because of its simplicity and patternity, and because the namework of peoples can speak with knowledge of business. The -bis says it's a place name, the first member is like Nama NaBA-P (Tindall), Griqua NaBA-B (Meinhof), today in Nama mostly Nawa-B (Kreenley) - for discussion cf. Hott 524. The -i- is, however, for the sake of sound harmony. Nabibis is the 'place (-bis) where the flash (naBa) is', 'lightning area', in accordance with Mr Oberholzer. It is farm No. 30, Dist. LIIDERITZ.

laasgenoemde verklaring, via die plaaseienaar afkomstig van Namas ter plaatse, verdien o.i. die voorkeur weens sy eenvoud en patroonmatigheid, en omdat die Namasprekende segsliede met kennis van sake kan praat. Die -bis se dat dit 'n pleknaam is, die eerste lid is dan soos Nama naba-p (Tindall), Griekwa naba-b (Meinhof), vandag in Nama meestal nawa-b (Kroenlein) - vir bespreking vgl. HOTT 524. Die -i- is wel ter wille van klankharmonie. Nabibis is die 'Plek (-bis) waar die blits (naba-) neerslaan', 'Weerligplek', ooreenkomstig melding van mnr Oberholzer. Dit is plaas nr 30, dist. liideritz.
