ǃKhobab
We do not find this name back on the cricke marte 1904 or on other maps. According to Hahn's situation on his own map, the fountain is above the Garubberge and southwestern of the Grootfontein found west of Gibeon. The name, with the given sucking pads, may mean as Nama 'Ikhowab (Ikowab): Bitteres, Fleischiges Caves; Signals Frucht Wirt Gern Gern Versen '(Kr.- R. 1969 NW 246), or' Ikhowab = Aloe '(Krenz FK 1978 note). The determination has botanical interest

Ons vind hierdie naam nie terug op die Kriegskarte 1904 of op ander kaarte nie. Volgens Hahn se situering op sy eie kaart le die fontein bokant die Garubberge en suidwestelik van die Grootfontein wat wes van Gibeon voorkom. Die naam, met die gegewe suigklappe, beteken moontlik soos Nama 'Ikhowab (Ikowab): bitteres, fleischiges Gewachs; seine Frucht wird gern gegessen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 246), of 'Ikhowab = Aloe' (Krenz FK 1978 Aantekening). Die vasstelling het botaniese belang
