ǂŌanǁôb

Rehoboth is located at the Oanob River. Knudsen's: Oan -ob read in the current orthography as ╪an- ǀǀ OB, exactly as with Witbooi. So we have the meaning and also the exact form, one at Alexander, the other at Knudsen and Hendrik Witbooi, captain, from home from namework, and also from others. Krenz FK 1976 Farmer Note Take it together '╪an = Gossip stories, and ǀǀ Ob = End'. According to the maps of Hahn and of Spreadbox (the latter not quoted), the usib is a tributary of the Oanob, and lower the sheeprivier also in the Oanob to Ig. Association with the Grootfish River. But in the later map the Oanob is called the USIB with the USIB. Anyway, it looks like this name has been heavy. We read that Severad CJ 1973 Gazette 6 'Oanob R.' As synonymous of 'Bads River', Systak of the usib. It is unfortunately so that we could not get good cards for our work, and science suffers.

Description
eng Rehoboth is located at the Oanob River. Knudsen's: Oan -ob read in the current orthography as ╪an- ǀǀ OB, exactly as with Witbooi. So we have the meaning and also the exact form, one at Alexander, the other at Knudsen and Hendrik Witbooi, captain, from home from namework, and also from others. Krenz FK 1976 Farmer Note Take it together '╪an = Gossip stories, and ǀǀ Ob = End'. According to the maps of Hahn and of Spreadbox (the latter not quoted), the usib is a tributary of the Oanob, and lower the sheeprivier also in the Oanob to Ig. Association with the Grootfish River. But in the later map the Oanob is called the USIB with the USIB. Anyway, it looks like this name has been heavy. We read that Severad CJ 1973 Gazette 6 'Oanob R.'

afr Rehoboth is geleë aan die Oanobrivier. Knudsen se :Oan-'ob lees in die huidige ortografie as ╪Oan-ǀǀob, presies soos by Witbooi. Ons het dus die betekenis en ook die presiese vorm, die een by Alexander, die ander by Knudsen en Hendrik Witbooi, Kaptein, van huis uit Namasprekend, en ook van ander. Krenz FK 1976 Boer Aantekening vat dit so saam ' ╪oan = skinderstories, en ǀǀob = einde'. Volgens die kaarte van Hahn en van Sprigade-Moisel (laasgenoemde nie aangehaal nie) is die Usib ’n sytak van die Oanob, en laeraf loop die Skaaprivier ook in die Oanob tot Ig. se vereniging met die Grootvisrivier. Maar in die latere kaart heet die Oanob van sy ineenvloeiing met die Usib af die Usib. Hoe ook al, dit lyk of hierdie naam maar swaar gekry het. Ons lees dat Skead CJ 1973 Gazetteer 6 'Oanob R.' as sinoniem opgee van 'Badsrivier', sytak van die Usib. Dit is ongelukkig so dat ons nie goeie kaarte vir ons werk kon kry nie, en die wetenskap ly daaronder.
