Gorob
The Gorob mine lies north of the Kuiseb. If it is pronounced with a palatal suction flaster as at Rev. Moritz, then it is rather understanding than ╪Go = pointed, with diminutiefformans -ro-, the 'small spitskoppie'; Hard ground isǃ K (H) Oro-B (Krenz FK 1974 Note), and again Krenz 1976 Addition 'Gorob ist Aber Auch Granitkuppe', Gorob now with another suction consonant than at Moritz. There is also a Gorob River (Surveying SWA sheet of Bethanien), about the meaning we have no further details.

Description
eng
The Gorob mine lies north of the Kuiseb. If it is pronounced with a palatal suction flaster as at Rev. Moritz, then it is rather understanding than ╪Go = pointed, with diminutiefformans -ro-, the 'small spitskoppie'; Hard ground isǃ K (H) Oro-B (Krenz FK 1974 Note), and again Krenz 1976 Addition 'Gorob ist Aber Auch Granitkuppe', Gorob now with another suction consonant than at Moritz. There is also a Gorob River (Surveying SWA sheet of Bethanien), about the meaning we have no further details.

Die Gorobmyn le ten noorde van die Kuiseb. Indien dit uitgespreek word met 'n palatale suigklap soos by eerw. Moritz, dan is dit eerder te verstaan as ╪go = spits, met diminutiefformans -ro-, die 'klein Spitskoppie'; harde grond is ǃk(h)oro-b (Krenz FK 1974 Aantekening), en weer Krenz 1976 Toevoeging 'ǀgorob ist aber auch Granitkuppe', gorob nou met 'n ander suigkonsonant as by Moritz. Daar is ook 'n Gorobrivier (Opmeting-SWA blad Bethanien), oor die betekenis waarvan ons geen nadere besonderhede het nie.
