afr Plaas Petersburg nr 151 grens suidelik aan die dorpsgronde van Outjo. Die Khoekhoense naam het verdwyn. Die eerste lid is Igawa-, ’n naam wat in die taal van die Blankes oorgegaan het. Wiss HJ 1975 Botanische Mitt 43 se hieroor o.a. 'Zu den bekanntesten Fiitterbiischen zahlt der Narzissen- oder Gawabusch (Catophractes alexandri), der auch als Schwarzdorn oder Silberbusch bekannt is...' Die gawabos kom meermale voor as bestanddeel van plekname, vgl. o.m. TH A* 398. Die lid -dapis, gewoonlik -dabis. is lokatief, met die -s die aanduiding dat dit ’n bronnaam is, soos in die tyd van dr Hartmann wat dit as sodanig aangee. Die 'Gawabosfontein'. In sy Kanttekening hierby se Krenz FK 1979 Boer 'Ich habe um Outjo herum wenig IGabba-Biische gesêhen'. Dit wil nie se dat die bossoort ook in dr Hartmann se tyd seldsaam was nie, soos dit dan tans die geval is. Aan die ander kant skryf dr Hartmann, hoewel nie altyd nie, tog gewoonlik by Namaname die suigkonsonant. Hier ontbreek dit by hom en daarom moet miskien ook gedink word aan gawa- = neu (Rust 1969 NW 73, die woord in Bergdama). 'Nuwe plek'
