Description
eng Today, Koradaob is the name of farm 'Kraaipoort' No. 124, and of 'KraaPoert River' who originated on the farm and running north to eventually water in the Kuiseb. On older cards, the name of this water place appears in his old and Khoekhoense form, on the Map Deutsch-Stidwestafrika of 1911, the Khoekhoen name appeared in the German spelling of his Afrikaans translation as 'Kraiport', on modern maps is the Afrikaans name In the usual spelling was transferred as 'Kraaipoort' (cf. including SWA Series 1965 and 1974).

afr Vandag is Koradaob die naam van plaas 'Kraaipoort' nr 124, en van 'Kraaipoortrivier' wat sy oorsprong op die plaas het en noordwaarts loop om uiteindelik in die Kuiseb uit te water. Op ouer kaarte kom die naam van hierdie waterplek voor in sy ou en Khoekhoense vorm, op die kaart Deutsch-Stidwestafrika van 1911 het die Khoekhoense naam verskyn in die Duitse spelling van sy Afrikaanse vertaling as 'Kraiport', op moderne kaarte is die Afrikaanse naam in die gewone spelling oorgebring as 'Kraaipoort' (vgl. o.a. SWA-reeks 1965 en 1974). Die bestanddele is: Nama gora- = kraai (met die gewone wisseling van g- en k-),+ dao- = poort (sien die woorde in Rust 1960 DNW),+ -b van die ml. ekv., die gewone indeks van o.a. riviername. Die beginpunt in die benoeming is wel die rivier waar die kraaie veel voorgekom het. Hierdie groot plaas le in die suidoostelike hoekie van die distrik Karibib, en suidwestelik van Windhoek.
