Veral in hierdie reeks van die Kriegskarte wat ’n praktiese doel nastrewe, nl. as gids i.v.m. die militere aksie van 1904, d.w.s. as gids vir die strateeg, is by dubbelnamigheid (naampare) die een naam meestal ’n vertaling van die ander. As dit hier ook geld, dan is Dobe die Khoekhoense vorm van die Afrikaans/Duitse Kalkfontein wat as tweede naam aangegee is. Die tweede naam het op latere kaarte verdwyn. Vandag kom nog voor 'Dobe- pan', die naam van die groot pan waarin die Dobefontein geleë was (vgl. SWA-reeks 1967 vel 1920 Tsumkwe). 'Kalk' is in Nama ǃkho-. Dobe is natuurlik nie Kobe nie, en tog kan dit so wees. In Ou-Kaaps wissel d/t frekwent af met g/k (vgl. HOTT 179-180, seifs in gewone woorde soos disi x gisi vir 'tien'). 'Kalkfontein' is te rekonstrueer as ǃKho-bi-s (met -bi- as ’n lokatief, en die fern. sing, -s as indeks van 'n fonteinnaam), verkort as Kober en in sy wisseluitspraak as Dobe. Wat hierdie interpretasie verste- wig, is die bestaan van belangrike knooppunt KOBIB net suid van Dobe en net noord van Tsumkwe.
