ǀNeraǃnaiseb

NABIBIS, Farm No. 30, District Liaideritz and 42 km southwest of Helmeringhau- Sen, were discussed in th a ** 833 and declared 'place where the lightning strikes'. Now we get another name here for the place. allegedly the oldest name, composedǃ Nai- = camel (horse), and as a first member ǀ Nera- = baboon, with the locative morpheme -S-B. What wants to reproduce the co-statement 'Bobbejaankommeel' is probably something unusual. Mr Krenz 1979 Farmer note suggests: 'ǀ Nerab = Pavian, Inaisib = BURTSORT,ǃ Nai = Born, Sib: Ortschaft'.

Description
eng NABIBIS, Farm No. 30, District Liaideritz and 42 km southwest of Helmeringhau- Sen, were discussed in th a ** 833 and declared 'place where the lightning strikes'. Now we get another name here for the place. allegedly the oldest name, composedǃ Nai- = camel (horse), and as a first member ǀ Nera- = baboon, with the locative morpheme -S-B.

afr Nabibis, plaas nr 30, distrik liideritz en 42 km suidwes van Helmeringhau- sen, is bespreek in TH A** 833 en verklaar as 'Plek waar die weerlig slaan'. Nou kry ons hier ’n ander naam vir die plek. na bewering die oudste naam, saamgestel uit ǃnai- = kameel(perd), en as eerste lid uit ǀnera- = bobbejaan, met die lokatiefmorfeem -si-b daarby. Wat die same- stelling 'bobbejaankameel' wil weergee, is seker iets ongewoons. Mnr Krenz 1979 Boer Aantekening stel voor: 'ǀNerab = Pavian, Inaisib = Ge- burtsort, ǃnai = geboren werden, sib: Ortschaft'.
