Gaigurib
The name is no longer on modern maps, also not on SWA series 1977 scale 1:50 000 Skin 1917 Ca Langeberg. It is situated where the current Langeberg (No. 58) is located west of Otavi. 'Long' is in Nama Gai [Kai], so with the wrong suction consonant T.O.V. Dr. Hartmann's return, and also otherwise the Afrikaans name is not linguistically not to knot convincingly with the old inland name. Our two segments suggest possibilities that are based on an analysis of the two parts of the composition.

Die naam kom nie meer op moderne kaarte voor nie, ook nie op SWA- reeks 1977 skaal 1:50 000 vel 1917 CA langeberg nie. Dit word gesitueer waar die huidige langeberg (nr 58) le, wes van Otavi. 'lang' is in Nama gai [kai], dus met die verkeerde suigkonsonant t.o.v. dr Hartmann se opgawe, en ook andersins is die Afrikaanse naam taalkundig nie met die ou inlandse naam oortuigend te knoop nie. Ons twee segsliede stel moont- likhede voor wat op 'n ontleding van die twee dele van die samestelling berus.
