ǁGoagorobǁos

The fountain le southeast of Sesfontein, on the Hoanib River, in a region that then, 'Reservat der Top Hottentotten'. On younger cards we will no longer find this name. Locking part ǀǀ o- is as Nama for 'death'. The alternate name with input ╪hami- to our 11goa makes sure that the middle-goroba- (eg, in the meaning of 'he has become'), Or put differently, the first member is not ǀǀ Goago or something. With the statement we are still in embarrassment.

Description
eng The fountain le southeast of Sesfontein, on the Hoanib River, in a region that then, 'Reservat der Top Hottentotten'. On younger cards we will no longer find this name.

afr Die fontein le suidoos van Sesfontein, aan die Hoanibrivier, in 'n streek wat toe geheet het 'Reservat der Toppnaar Hottentotten'. Op jonger kaarte vind ons hierdie naam nie meer terug nie. Die slotdeel ǀǀo- is wel soos Nama vir 'dood'. Die wisselnaam met inset ╪Hami- teenoor ons 11Goa- maak dit seker dat die middeldeel -goroba- is (bv. in die betekenis van 'hy het geword'), of anders gestel, die eerste lid is nie ǀǀgoago- of so iets nie. Met die verklaring is ons nog in verleentheid.
