Goatanab
Look further at Aotanab. Pastor Moritz here again told him. It seems as if the two names are equated, D.W.S. That also means Goatanab 'Bluthead'. The -tana-B in both returns arouse no doubt, it is Nama for 'head'. The vowels in Goa and in AO- let in doubt whether it is the same word, for the first time with skin, the second time, which is consistent (Hott 186-8). Possibly they are alternative names. Then Goatanab reminds us of ╪Go-Tanab [-Danab], D.I. 'Spitskop', Nama ╪Go = peak, with other Schnalz than at Moritz, or, next to Spitskop, perhaps 'elephant kick', Nama ╪koa- cf .. Goaseb 2318.

Look further at Aotanab. Pastor Moritz here again told him. It seems as if the two names are equated, D.W.S. That also means Goatanab 'Bluthead'.

The vowels in Goa and in AO- let in doubt whether it is the same word, for the first time with skin, the second time, which is consistent (Hott 186-8). Possibly they are alternative names. Then Goatanab reminds us of ╪Go-Tanab [-Danab], D.I. 'Spitskop', Nama ╪Go = peak, with other Schnalz than at Moritz, or, next to Spitskop, perhaps 'elephant kick', Nama ╪koa- cf .. Goaseb 2318.

Kyk verder by AOTANAB. Pastor Moritz gee hier weer wat aan hom vertel is. Dit kom voor asof die twee name gelyk gestel word, d.w.s. dat ook Goatanab 'BlutkopP’ beteken. Die -tana-b in albei opgawes wek geen twyfel nie, dit is Nama vir 'kop'. Die vokale in Goa- en in Ao- laat wel twyfel ont- staan of dit dieselfde woord is, die eerste keer met velaar, die tweede keer gedevelariseer, wat bestaanbaar is (HOTT 186-8). Moontlik is hulle alter- natiewe name. Dan laat Goatanab ons dink aan ╪Go-tanab [-danab], d.i. 'Spitskop', Nama ╪go = spits, met ander schnalz as by Moritz, of, naas Spitskop, dalk 'Olifantskop', Nama ╪koa- vgl. GOASEB 2318.
