Dûǁnab Kaib
This is the old name of a large (Nama gei- [kai] = large, and -b, ml. Ekv., Here index of a mountain name) Mountain southwestern Otavi along the track to Otjiwarongo. According to SWA series 1976 Skin 1916 Tsumeb is the only large mountain that can correlate with this, the Eelefantenberg. The namanaam then lost. According to Krenz, the member is like Nama du = Acacia Sp., The member ǀǀ to = 'Fallen' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 273), plus -B who can indize a mountain. Whether the Gei-B [Kai-B] says the mountain, the fall or the tree is large, depends on the involvement that we cannot determine. Cfg. also DudoAbib over first member.

Dit is die ou naam van ’n groot (Nama gei- [kai] = groot, en -b, ml. ekv., hier indeks van 'n bergnaam) berg suidwestelik van Otavi langs die spoor na Otjiwarongo. Volgens SWA reeks 1976 vel 1916 Tsumeb is die enigste groterige berg wat hiermee kan korreleer, die Elefantenberg. Die Namanaam het dan verlore gegaan. Volgens Krenz is die lid Du- wel soos Nama du = Acacia sp., die lid ǀǀna = 'fallen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 273), plus -b wat ’n berg kan indiseer. Of die gei-b [kai-b] se dat die berg, die val of die boom groot is, hang van die betrokkenheid af wat ons nie kan bepaal nie. Vgl. ook DUDOABIB oor eerste lid.
