Gohomgu
Kreenley is not straightforward that it is the name of the well-known Spitzkoppe, but we believe that Pastor does do it. At Nama ╪gb = Spits, and Ihomi = Mountain (Aid. 191), MV. Ihomgu. It uses a lot or the inland name from Afrikaans German is translated rather than the other way around. Also look and (for another spitskop) Gouib.

Kroenlein se nie reguit dat dit die naam van die bekende Spitzkoppe is nie, maar ons meen dat pastor Rust dit wel doen. By Nama ╪gb = spits, en Ihomi = berg (aid. 191), mv. Ihomgu. Dit kom ons baie voor of die inlandse naam uit Afrikaans-Duits vertaal is eerder as andersom. Kyk ook GEINS en (vir ’n ander Spitskop) GOUIB.
