ǃGūǃgūb

We are dealing with the farm No. 216 on the road that runs southeastern from Grootfontein and has only its re-bearer of Okanakasewa, which is the owner E. Maeye as okana = 'tie small thing' plus Kasewa = 'Zuriickblieben' (questionnaire 1975). We do not yet know whether the hereral name has a connection with the Khoekhoense name. Ifǃ GU-B is also the name for the SA-B or Bushman, then the Okana (locative prefix may be disregarded) possible to refer to the small brown man. Anyway, the wordǃ Gu also means tracking (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 144), the redu- picative form is causative or, as well here, intensification. ǃ Gu-ǃ Gu-B is the person, the man (-b) that is good and often tracking / trace, D.I. The Bushman, and Gugub is the 'railroad / tracking spot', actually the Bushman '. The statement seems to us. This alternative name of Gugub no longer appears on the for our available maps

Description
eng We are dealing with the farm No. 216 on the road that runs southeastern from Grootfontein and has only its re-bearer of Okanakasewa, which is the owner E.

afr Ons het te doen met die plaas nr 216 aan die pad wat suidoostelik van Grootfontein af loop en nog net sy Hereronaam dra van Okanakasewa, wat die eienaar E. Maye verklaar as okana = 'das kleine Ding' plus kasewa = 'zuriickgeblieben' (Vraelys 1975). Ons weet nog nie of die Hereronaam ’n verband met die Khoekhoense naam het nie. As ǃGu-b ook die naam vir die Sa-b of Boesman is, dan kan die okana (lokatiewe prefiks buite rekening gelaat) moontlik na die klein Bruinman verwys. Hoe ook al, die woord ǃgu beteken ook spoorsny (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 144), die redu- plikatiewe vorm is kousatief of, soos wel hier, intensivering. ǃGu-ǃgu-b is die persoon, die man ( -b) wat goed en dikwels spoorsny/spoorvat, d.i. die Boesman, en Gugub is die 'Spoorplek/Spoorsnyerplek', eintlik dan die Boesmanplek'. Die verklaring lyk vir ons houdbaar. Hierdie alternatiewe naam van Gugub kom nie meer op die vir ons beskikbare kaarte voor nie
