Description
eng This name seems to have disappeared, just like its foundation. Kr.- R. 1969 NW 89 Explain Igamoob as 'der Morder, der Temschager'.

afr Dit lyk of hierdie naam verdwyn het, net soos die grondslag daarvan. Kr.- R. 1969 NW 89 verklaar Igamaob as 'der Morder, der Totschlager'. Hoachanas was ’n sendingstasie, ongeveer 14 km noordclik van Gamaob geleë (waar teen moord gepreek isǃǃ). Vandag is Gamaob op die plaas Panama nr 182. Panama le nog aan dieselfde pad as die ou Gamaob op die Kriegs- karte. SWA-reeks 1976 vel 2417 BB Sekretarispan skaal 1:50 000 gee ’n inskrywing 'Graf- naas die pad aan. Dit lyk asof Gamaob dan onreg- streeks hierop betrekking mag he.
