Description

So: ǀ O = smelly, or ǀ o-b = stench; ǃ Na = in, inside; andǃ Gu- = the rear or hip caros, literally 'stench-in-hip caros' or freer 'wavier pantskaros'. The form with -h- Looks after a print error Place before, it was the name of a water location and expense.

Dus: ǀo = stinkende, of ǀo-b = stank; ǃna = in, binne; en ǃgu- = die agter- of heupkaros, letterlik 'Stank-in-heupkaros' of vryer 'Slegruikende broekkaros'. Die vorm met -h- lyk na 'n drukfout. In die Adressbuch kom dit nie meer as naam van 'n plaas voor nie, dit was die naam van ’n waterplek en uitspanning.
