Description
eng The same name for the confluence of the Auob and Olifants River, but here specifically of the Black and Witnossob, each time of two rivers, therefore the Dualist Manl. Lākha atǃ A-B = River.

afr Dieselfde naam vir die samevloeiing van die Auob en Olifantsrivier, maar hier spesifiek van die Swart- en Witnossob, telkens van twéé riviere, daarom die dualis manl. lākha by ǃa-b = rivier. Die tweede lid is soos Nama ╪nou = 'slaan' of 'inslaan', d.i. ineenvloei, of beter, met wisseling n- en h-, soos ǀhao-s of ǀhou-s. Die beeld met 'slaan' is Khoekhoens. Vgl. Kr.-R. 1969 NW 15 en ook 301-2 s.v. ╪nou [╪nau]
