Namseb, Numseb
Alexander's NUBseb correlates on his map exactly with Namb, so his statement is the oldest. He knew no Nama and got it from his interpreter, Choubib: It reflects their expert conception, based on local knowledge. The foundation is then as Nama ╪nami, ╪Nams = 'Der Karos, der Schafelz' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 285), with the location suffix -Seb, literally 'karos-place', with the number that it laid one-side, perhaps for overpring (cf. NamTap) or around the heat Place apparently got his name from the river, note the indicative exit -b (ml. Ekv.) For a river name.

Description
eng
Alexander's NUBseb correlates on his map exactly with Namb, so his statement is the oldest. He knew no Nama and got it from his interpreter, Choubib: It reflects their expert conception, based on local knowledge. The foundation is then as Nama ╪nami, ╪Nams = 'Der Karos, der Schafelz' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 285), with the location suffix -Seb, literally 'karos-place', with the number that it laid one-side, perhaps for overpring (cf. NamTap) or around the heat Place apparently got his name from the river, note the indicative exit -b (ml. Ekv.) For a river name.

Alexander se Numseb korreleer op sy kaart presies met Namseb, sodat sy verklaring die oudste is. Hy het geen Nama geken nie en het dit van sy tolk gekry, Choubib: dit weerspieel hulle kundige opvatting, gebaseer op plaaslike kennis. Die grondslag is dan soos Nama ╪nami, ╪nams = 'der Karos, der Schafpelz' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 285), met die lokativerende suffiks -seb, letterlik 'Karos-plek', met die bykennis dat dit hier eenkanttoe gelê word, miskien vir oorspring (vgl. NAMTAP) of om die hitte, vgl. GOANIKONTES. Die ander meer as ’n eeu latere pogings is eerlike, welmenende oogfilologiese gim- nastiek, poetiese rekonstruksies, bv. die van dr Vedder. Die plaas het sy naam klaarblyklik van die riviertjie gekry, let op die aanduidende uitgang -b (ml. ekv.) vir ’n riviernaam.
