ǃGabǁgam
The fact that the run is just below Gavaams makes it very sure that the components Gawa and Gava in the two names propose the same case, here again the black thorn or Catophractes Alexandri, look further under Gavaams. The second member, - Gam, is like Nama ǀǀ gam- = water, here, delict water run. The -gam occurs as -room in the spelling of survey for another equivalent river in Leueu River on the farm Gawachab No. 114.

Description

The fact that the run is just below Gavaams makes it very sure that the components Gawa and Gava in the two names propose the same case, here again the black thorn or Catophractes Alexandri, look further under Gavaams. The second member, - Gam, is like Nama ǀǀ gam- = water, here, delict water run. The -gam occurs as -room in the spelling of survey for another equivalent river in Leueu River on the farm Gawachab No. 114.

Die feit dat die lopie net onderkant Gavaams is, maak dit heel seker dat die komponente Gawa- en Gava- in die twee name dieselfde saak voorstel, hier weer die swartdoring of Catophractes alexandri, kyk verder onder GAVAAMS. Die tweede lid, -gam, is soos Nama ǀǀgam- = water, hier bepaal- delik waterlopie. Die -gam kom voor as -kam in die spelling van Opmeting vir ’n ander gelykbetekenende riviertjie wat in leeurivier inloop op die plaas Gawachab nr 114.
