Ubukos, Ubakois, Ubakus, Ubukhoes

This place is Western from Otjimbingwe, in the reserve, district of Karibib. It convinces the difficulties with which a researcher sometimes does if he has just the recorded name before him. The first member appears as UBA around 1900, as UBU of about 1910. The second member becomes -kois, -khoes, kiss, food, -gos. With the form Ubakois before him, Mr Du Raan thinks eg. to -khoe-s = woman. And for the first part to U-Ha '= He. We want to assume that the second member has no sucker (cf. Kohler and Haacke), and that the first member was preceded by the cerebraphs. Thought, then, as Namaǃ UWU- = 'DAS EI' (Kr.-R. 1969 N. 374). To make the Member -K (H) o- (without suction consonant) sensible to make the efforts fairly speculative, for the time being at least.

Description
eng This place is Western from Otjimbingwe, in the reserve, district of Karibib. It convinces the difficulties with which a researcher sometimes does if he has just the recorded name before him. The first member appears as UBA around 1900, as UBU of about 1910. The second member becomes -kois, -khoes, kiss, food, -gos. With the form Ubakois before him, Mr Du Raan thinks eg. to -khoe-s = woman. And for the first part to U-Ha '= He. We want to assume that the second member has no sucker (cf. Kohler and Haacke), and that the first member was preceded by the cerebraphs. Thought, then, as Namaǃ UWU- = 'DAS EI' (Kr.-R. 1969 N. 374). To make the Member -K (H) o- (without suction consonant) sensible to make the efforts fairly speculative, for the time being at least.
afr Hierdie plek le westelik van Otjimbingwe, in die reservaat, distrik Karibib. Dit veraanskoulik die moeilikhede waarmee ’n navorser soms te doen kry as hy net die opgetekende naam voor horn het. Die eerste lid verskyn as Uba- rondom 1900, as Ubu- van ongeveer 1910 af. Die tweede lid word -kois, -khoes, -kus, -kos, -gos. Met die vorm Ubakois voor horn dink mnr Du Raan bv. aan -khoe-s = vrou. en vir die eerste deel aan u-ha '= he. Ons wil aanneem dat die tweede lid geen suigklap meer het nie (vgl. Kohler en Haacke), en dat die eerste lid voorafgegaan is deur die serebrafe slag. Denkbaar is dan soos Nama ǃuwu- = 'das Ei' (Kr.-R. 1969 N\V 374). Om die lid -k(h)o- (sonder suigkonsonant) hiermee sinmatig te ver- soen, maak die pogings taamlik spekulatief, voorlopig altans.
