Dit is die naam van plaas nr 14, noordwes van Mariental en met 'n val na die Visrivier toe. Oor die suigkonsonant is daar geen twyfel nie, vgl. die gegewens in TH A** 553. Dan soos Nama Ihoa = krom, -xa- = baie, veel, en die -b (ml. ekv.) verbind die naam, volgens die gewone reel, hier duidelik met ’n rivier of loop. Die 'stroom/loop ( -b) met baie ( -xa-) krom- minge/draaie (Ihoa-)'. Hierdie verklaring verdien o.i. die voorkeur.
