That farm's people gave old-fashioned medicines for people who are almost finished. ǃ Gae is magic,ǃ Kob is place. 'Tore' is his name. Almost a rock farm, confused stone there and so on '.

afr Hartmann 1904 kaart 'IGaikos', 'gr. Ft. viel Wasser'. Sprigade-Moisel 1904 Kriegsk 'Gaikos'. DSWA-reeks 1910 'Gaikos (Otjika)'. Xaregeb E 1977 en ses ander Khoekhoen van Grootfontein Gesprek 'Ot- jitjikwa is die Hereronaam van IGaikos. A1 die plekke hier rond het ook Hereroname. Gaikos is eintlik ǃGaiǃob. Daardie plaas se mense het daar outyds medisynes gegee vir mense wat amper klaar is. ǃGae is toor, ǃkob is plek. ‘Toorplek' is sy naam. Amper ’n klipplaas, deurmekaar klip daar en so aan'.

eng Today it is the name of farm No 729, northeast of Grootfontein, in that district. This fountain (index sign is here the -s of the Fern, sing.), Great and with plenty of water, said according to Dr Hartmann's map to the southeastern tip of the 'Gaikob Oder Otjitjikwa B (bad) E' (the Masc. Sing, -b is here mountainen name index, as opposed to the -s). This mountain and fountain have the same name, with the same suction consonants, and followed with the same meaning. The farm is, so Mr Xaregeb and his team, very rocky. Gaikos is approximately 'Toorfontein', Gaikob is 'magic mountain', on the authority of the Consistent Brown People. Rust 1960 DNW 75 Give up 'Zaubermittel'ǃ Gei-b [ǃ Gae-b]. Interestingly, the freely wisse- lob andǃ Kob at the team of XAREGEBǃ They interpret it as 'place', at Kr.-r. 1969 NW 325 is Lob and -s 'Das Loch'. Whether the motivation of XAREG is correct, we do not know, the distraction looks correct to us.

afr Vandag is dit die naam van plaas nr 729, noordoos van Grootfontein, in daardie distrik. Hierdie fontein (indeksteken is hier die -s van die fern, sing.), groot en met baie water, het volgens dr Hartmann se kaart gelê aan die suidoostelike punt van die 'Gaikob oder Otjitjikwa B(erg)e' (die masc. sing, -b is hier bergnaamindeks, in teenstelling met die -s). Hierdie berg en fontein het dieselfde naam, met dieselfde suigkonsonante, en ge- volglik met dieselfde betekenis. Die plaas is, so se mnr Xaregeb en sy span, baie klipagtig. Gaikos is ongeveer 'Toorfontein', Gaikob is 'Toor- berg', op gesag van die geraadpleegde Bruinmense. Rust 1960 DNW 75 gee vir 'Zaubermittel' op ǃgei-b [ ǃgae-b]. Interessant is die vryelike wisse- ling van lob en ǃkob by die span van Xaregebǃ Hulle interpreteer dit as 'plek', by Kr.-R. 1969 NW 325 is lob en -s 'das loch'. Of die motivering van Xaregeb korrek is, weet ons nie, die afleiding lyk vir ons korrek.
