Description
eng On the face of it, this name does not look Khoekhens, but topographically it seems so. The mountain is at the point where the farms Dymoeb, Oudam and Kobus meet. The first member of the name, viz. Kobus-, is o.i. An adaptation of the name Kobos, the rest of the name is German. For the declaration of the name Kobos cf. Th a ** 728.
afr Op die oog af lyk hierdie naam nie Khoekhoens nie, maar topografies blyk dit tog so te wees. Die berg le naamlik op die punt waar die plase Dymoeb, Oudam en Kobus bymekaarkom. Die eerste lid van die naam, nl. Kobus-, is o.i. 'n aanpassing van die naam Kobos, die res van die naam is Duits. Vir die verklaring van die naam KOBOS vgl. TH A** 728.
