Plaas nr 125, dist. Mariental, noordoos van Stampriet, en aan die Olifantsrivier. 'Plek (-b) met baie (-xa-) skape (gu-n, pi. comm.)'. Ons is so vry om op taalkundige gronde te wys op ’n moontlikheid wat o.i. nie onver- dienstelik is nie. Die -n- van Gun- is o.i. die konsonantiese realisasie van ’n genasaleerde vokaal by ǀǀgu-b = springbok (Rust 1960 DNW 59), d.w.s. hierdie Gunchab is te verstaan as ǀǀGuchab, die 'Plek (-b) van baie (-xa-, hier -cha-) springbokke(ǀǀgu-, ook pi. comm. ǀǀgu-n)'.
