Toe het die plek sy naam Okanatze gekry. Toe die Swartboois in- getrek het, het hulle aan Kanatze die Nama-ending aangehaak en so het dit ‘Geinatseb’ geword'. Hoppe M 1974 Farmersfrau Fragenbogen 'Gainatzeb, Farm Nr 67, Bezirk Outjo. Bedeutet ‘Guter Platz’. Gainatzeb hat eine Quelle. Ich kann gut die Namasprache sprechen'. Hoppe l 1974 Boer Vraelys gee die betekenis aan as 'lekker dag'.

eng The case is mentioned as an example of the fact that sometimes the Nama is the noting and adaptive party. It seems or everyone except the hoppes agree that the starting point is Herero, though the statements set out.

afr Die geval word genoem as ’n voorbeeld van die feit dat ook soms die Nama die nemende en aanpassende party is. Dit skyn of almal behalwe die Hoppes dit eens is dat die beginpunt Herero is, al loop die verklarings uiteen.
