Samanab
Samanab is a sandy north of the Uniab River and in the waaisand dunes of the Namib. The statements are obviously sound association. However, we refer to Samama that means irrible 'Byeneslaagte'. We believe that the first ingredient is also understood as Nama Sam = 'Honig Aus Dem Nest Holen' (Kr.-r. 1969 NW 339), rather than Sam = We, as at our first, or as Sam- = the Mother's breast, as at the second segsman. The second ingredient is then perhaps to understand as at Mr. Du Raan, D.I. Like Nama -na = 'Beissen' (Kr.-R. 267), viz. of the bees when their honey is taken out. The view of 'bypeat' is already contained in other names, cf. o.a. Hawuchanas.

Samanab is 'n sandloop noordelik van die Uniabrivier en in die waaisand- duine van die Namib. Die verklarings is uiteraard klankassosiatief. Ons verwys egter na SAMNAM wat ontwyfelbaar beteken 'Byeneslaagte'. Ons meen dat ook hier die eerste bestanddeel te begryp is as Nama sam = 'Honig aus dem Nest holen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 339), eerder as sam = ons, soos by ons eerste, of as sam- = die moederbors, soos by die tweede segs- man. Die tweede bestanddeel is dan miskien te begryp soos by mnr Du Raan, d.i. soos Nama -na = 'beissen' (Kr.-R. 267), nl. van die bye as hulle heuning uitgehaal word. Die siening van 'Byesteek' is alreeds in ander name vervat, vgl. o.a. HAWUCHANAS.
