eng Espach AJ 1973 Farmer questionnaire 'Giganab, farm, nearest town of Grootfontein. Means 'a lot of honey', because earlier years of honey was '. Krenz FK 1974 Farmer Note '╪uixa-ǃ Nab =' Place where many game daddy trees stand. '

afr Espach AJ 1973 Boer Vraelys 'Guiganab, plaas, naaste dorp Grootfontein. Beteken ‘Baie heuning’, omdat hier vroeër jare baie heuning was'. Krenz FK 1974 Boer Aantekening '╪uixa- ǃnab = ‘Plek waar baie wildedadelbome staan’.'

eng Farms GUIGANAB-OST NO 273, and (where the Espachs live) GUIGANAB-WEST NO 285, Le northeast of Abenab (or Grootfontein further south). If 'much honey' is the meaning, then as Nama ╪gui = much; The -gana should then be 'honey', in Nama Dani, D.W.S. We have the play of G- (ANA) and D (ANI) that Old-Cape knows well (cf. Hott 180-1 and 5 E 1). If it means 'baedadel trees' or 'wildadam-rich place', then the syllable split otherwise, with -exa- = rich in (many), and ╪UI- = wildadam tree, with -ǃ Na- = in.

afr Plase Guiganab-Ost nr 273, en (waar die Espachs woon) Guiganab-West nr 285, le noordoos van Abenab (of Grootfontein verder suid). Indien 'Baie- heuning' die betekenis is, dan wel soos Nama ╪gui = veel; die -gana- moet dan 'heuning' wees, in Nama dani-, d.w.s. ons het hier die speling van g-(ana-) en d-(ani-) wat Ou-Kaaps inderdaad goed ken (vgl. HOTT 180-1 en 5 E 1). Indien dit beteken 'Baiedadelbome' of 'Wildedadelboomryke Plek', dan is die lettergreepverdeling anders, met -xa- = ryk aan (baie), en ╪ui- = wildedadelboom, met -ǃna- = in.
