eng Moritz W 1972 MS TOPNAARS 14A 'The furthest place we visit, ǀ Awa-ǃ Nab, which means 'rooi-lig' or 'red light'. We are now 12 miles from Oswater. The place has its name probably according to the red diene, which, the high-manner you drive up the Kuiseb, so the red, as the iron is rusted more in them. '

Der Platz hat seinen Namen wohl nach den roten Diinen, die, je hoher man den Kuiseb hinauffahrt, um so roter sind, da das Eisen in ihnen mehr verrostet ist.'
