Gumuchab
This applies here farms Gumuchab-West No 87 and Eastern 94, adjacent, Dist. Windhoek, located at the Olifants River, southeast of Windhoek. Dr Vedder's statement is merely eye-philological speculations. Mr Van Schalkwyk's tree type was identified by Krenz FK 1976 as Namaǃ Gu = Acacia Reficiens. The farm owner's statement seems certainly convincing, linguistically as well as his rationale. 'The place (-b) rich (-cha-, d.i. -xa-) is onǃ Gu-trees'. The PNC then changed the spelling of the name on directions from Dr. Vedder to Gomuchab (cf. APN 1951 130 and rail grill).

Dit geld hier plase Gumuchab-Wes nr 87 en -Oos nr 94, aangrensend, dist. Windhoek, geleë aan die Olifantsrivier, suidoos van Windhoek. Dr Vedder se verklaring is bloot oogfilologiese spekulasies. Mnr Van Schalkwyk se boom- soort is deur Krenz FK 1976 Aantekening, geidentifiseer as Nama ǃgu = Acacia reficiens. Die plaaseienaar se verklaring lyk bepaald oortuigend, taalkundig sowel as om sy rasionaal. 'Die plek (-b) wat ryk (-cha-, d.i. -xa-) is aan ǃgu-bome'. Die PNK het toe die spelling van die naam van die halte verander op aanwysings van dr Vedder tot Gomuchab (vgl. APN 1951 130 en Spoorwegrooster).
