With the SWA Series 1974 Special Skin Windhoek Ridsone 33K to Foundation brings the compass on the milite distance 32 southwest of Windhoek We put on Krumneck No. 20, or on the mountain at Haksceen 189 with land surveying on it. Now 'crooked' (we think of the Krum (M) - from Krummerneck) in Nama Ihoa (Rust 1960 DNW 37) corresponding to the Hoamas. The farm Krumneck is just south of the Bismarckfelsen in the Auas ​​Mountains. An angle, or a turn in the road, is also IHOA. According to location and correlation in the words for 'crooked' in German and in Nama it seems reasonable to assume that there is more than a coincidence, m.a.w. That there is a causal connection, and that Krumneck in translated form preserves the old Khoekhoense name, viz. Hoama, with Ihoa = crooked, for the Hoa of the name, and with the member -ma-as location, such as. in kakamas; The part '-neck' of the German name is thought and not translated, it is valued as female, with its reflex in the -s of the lock.

Description
eng With the SWA Series 1974 Special Skin Windhoek Ridsone 33K to Foundation brings the compass on the milite distance 32 southwest of Windhoek We put on Krumneck No. 20, or on the mountain at Haksceen 189 with land surveying on it.

afr Met die SWA-reeks 1974 spesiale vel Windhoek ruitsone 33K tot grondslag bring die passer op die mylafstand 32 suidwestelik van Windhoek af ons op Krumneck plaas nr 20, of op die berg op Hakscheen 189 met landmeters- baken daarop. Nou is 'krom' (ons dink aan die Krum(m)- van Krumneck) in Nama Ihoa (Rust 1960 DNW 37) wat ooreenstem met die Hoa- van Hoamas. Die plaas Krumneck le net suid van die Bismarckfelsen in die Auasberge. ’n Hoek, of ’n draai in die pad, is ook Ihoa-. Volgens ligging en korrelasie in die woorde vir 'krom' in Duits en in Nama lyk dit redelik om aan te neem dat daar meer is as ’n toevalligheid, m.a.w. dat daar ’n kousale verband is, en dat Krumneck in vertaalde vorm die ou Khoekhoense naam bewaar, nl. Hoama-, met Ihoa = krom, vir die Hoa- van die naam, en met die lid -ma- as lokatief, soos bv. in KAKAMAS; die deel '-neck' van die Duitse naam is bygedink en nie vertaal nie, dit word egter as vroulik gewaardeer, met sy refleks in die -s van die slot.
