Achanib, Achenib

To demonstrate the confusion and uncertainty, we summarize how the sucking consonants were handled. Vedder writes the first component Sónder Schnalz, Hahn and ViBert uses the Dental ǀ, also Bassingthwaights; Witbooi and Judt of Hoachanas, firsthand known with the place, writes the cerebralballs ǃ, Except that Judt omitted it in 1889 (or is it an overwriting error?) As far as the second member is concerned, except that a -nib Loosen the lock, then without Schnalz, divide the other the word into () Achen- and a Dib with the Dental ǀ FOREIGN (Witbooi, Hahn, ViBT, Bassingthwaights) or in a -eib with a lateral ǀǀ in front (Judt). Total confusion prevails here. Noteworthy that the first attempt to declare the name, according to our documents, dates back to 1947, a 30 years ago. Then it's just eye-philologically. Vedder goes out of Nama Axa-B = 'Junge' (Rest 1960 DNW 33), and within the context he pauses his -nib. By doing so, the second syllable, while we hear that the usual verdict there was a - with accent, d.w.s. ACH-é- Now get to Vedder Ach-A. We believe that there is still no explanation that is compatible with the old notes, and we believe the change of farm name to Achanib for the bus stop on the eponymous farm, viz. Achenib No. 247, Dist. Windhoek, not on good grounds.

Description
eng To demonstrate the confusion and uncertainty, we summarize how the sucking consonants were handled. Vedder writes the first component Sónder Schnalz, Hahn and ViBert uses the Dental ǀ, also Bassingthwaights; Witbooi and Judt of Hoachanas, firsthand known with the place, writes the cerebralballs ǃ, Except that Judt omitted it in 1889 (or is it an overwriting error?) As far as the second member is concerned, except that a -nib Loosen the lock, then without Schnalz, divide the other the word into () Achen- and a Dib with the Dental ǀ FOREIGN (Witbooi, Hahn, ViBT, Bassingthwaights) or in a -eib with a lateral ǀǀ in front (Judt). Total confusion prevails here. Noteworthy that the first attempt to declare the name, according to our documents, dates back to 1947, a 30 years ago. Then it's just eye-philologically. Vedder goes out of Nama Axa-B = 'Junge' (Rest 1960 DNW 33), and within the context he pauses his -nib. By doing so, the second syllable, while we hear that the usual verdict there was a - with accent, d.w.s. ACH-é- Now get to Vedder Ach-A. We believe that there is still no explanation that is compatible with the old notes, and we believe the change of farm name to Achanib for the bus stop on the eponymous farm, viz. Achenib No. 247, Dist. Windhoek, not on good grounds.
afr Om die verwarring en onsekerheid te demonstreer gee ons ’n opsomming van hoe die suigkonsonante gehanteer is. Vedder skryf die eerste komponent sónder schnalz, Hahn en Kiepert gebruik die dentale ǀ, ook Bassingthwaighte; Witbooi en Judt van Hoachanas, eerstehands bekend met die plek, skryf die serebrale ǃ, behalwe dat Judt dit in 1889 weggelaat het (of is dit 'n oorskryf- fout?) Wat die tweede lid betref, behalwe Vedder wat ’n -nib uit die slotdeel losmaak, dan ook sonder schnalz, verdeel die ander die woord in ()Achen- en 'n -ib met die dentaal ǀ vooraan (Witbooi, Hahn, Kiepert, Bassingthwaighte) of in ’n -eib met ’n lateraal ǀǀ vooraan (Judt). Totale verwarring heers hier. Opmerklik dat die allereerste poging om die naam te verklaar volgens ons dokumente, uit 1947 dateer, ’n 30 jaar gelede. Dan is dit bloot oogfilologies. Vedder gaan uit van Nama axa-b = 'Junge' (Rust 1960 DNW 33), en binne die konteks poetiseer hy daarby sy -nib. Daardeur kry die tweede lettergreep -a-, terwyl ons hoor dat die gewone uitspraak daar ’n -e- met aksent het, d.w.s. Ach-é- word nou by Vedder Ach-a-. Ons meen dat daar nog geen verklaring gegee is wat versoenbaar met die ou optekeninge is nie, en ons meen dat die verandering van die plaasnaam tot Achanib vir die bushalte op die gelyknamige plaas, nl. Achenib nr 247, dist. Windhoek, nie op goeie gronde berus nie.
