ǃGoregura-ābes
Igoregu is the MV. ofǃ gore-b. The rest is given above. The place had a lot of history and because of the wars among the natives came up a new name, viz. Khachatsus, which, in turn, was pushed by the Bible name Gibeon, given by the Rhenish Missionary Society, which established a station in 1863 to serve the Witbooisstam. The station then had at least three names; The oldest can translate us as 'zebration'. 'Khaxatsus is still widely used under Naman today' said Mr Haacke 1976 asst. Education Planner in a comment below.

IGoregu is die mv. van ǃgore-b. Die res is hierbo gegee. Die plek het ’n veelbewoe geskiedenis gehad en weens die oorloe onder die inboorlinge het ’n nuwe naam opgekom, nl. KHACHATSUS, wat op sy beurt deur die Bybelnaam Gibeon verdring is, gegee deur die Rynse Sendinggenootskap wat in 1863 daar ’n stasie gestig het om die Witbooisstam te bedien. Die stasie het dan minstens drie name gehad; die oudste kan ons vertaal as 'Sebrasuiping'. 'Khaxatsus word vandag nog algemeen onder Naman gebruik' se mnr Haacke 1976 Asst. Onderwysbeplanner in ’n opmerking hierby.
