Goabis
Here is talk about Goabis, farm No 776, owner J Henning, and located north of Grootfontein, in the district. 'Honor' is in Namaǃ Goab (Rest 1960 DNW 16), but since our peasies do not hear the flap or nasal, rather think about Nama Goa = 'Preisen, Loben' (Rust 48), 'Place where priced / Faith becomes ', in the current Orthography Coabis, with the morphem -bi and place nominationer.

Hier word gepraat oor Goabis, plaas nr 776, eienaar J Henning, en geleë noord van Grootfontein, in die distrik. 'Eer' is in Nama ǃgoab (Rust 1960 DNW 16), maar aangesien ons segsliede nie die klapklank of nasaal laat hoor nie, is eerder te dink aan Nama goa = 'preisen, loben' (Rust 48), 'Plek waar geprys/geloof word', in die huidige ortografie Koabis, met die morfeem -bi- as plekbenoemer.
