eng Van Rensburg 1973 Farmer questionnaire 'Giganab. Place 80 km north of Grootfontein. Means 'one camel tree'; GUI = one, and ganab = kaalboom. At the homestead, one large camel tree stands; Elsewhere on the farm are just young camel trees '. XAREG E 1977 and six other Khoekhoen of Grootfontein Conversation 'It is ǀ GUI ǀǀ Ganab. It means 'one camel thorn tree'. '

afr Van Rensburg 1973 Boer Vraelys 'Guiganab. Plaas 80 km noord van Grootfontein. Beteken ‘Een kameelboom'; gui = een, en ganab = ka- meelboom. By die opstal staan een groot kameelboom; elders op die plaas is nou net jong kameelbome'. Xaregeb E 1977 en ses ander Khoekhoen van Grootfontein Gesprek 'Dit is ǀGuiǀǀganab. Dit beteken ‘Een kameeldoringboom’.'

eng This applies here No 273, a subdivision appears the addition 'GUI-Ganab-OST'. Mr van Rensburg, owner of -ost, explains the meaning other than Mr Espach, owner of -west, see th a * 477. Linguistically, Mr Van Rensburg's statement is preferable, backed by Mr Xaregeb and his team. It is a name composed of Nama ǀ Gui = one, and ǀǀ Gana- = camel thorn tree. Acacia Giraffe. The motivation is convincing and father-hearted (the camel thorn tree is still there). This corresponds to the declaration of giganabis, cf. Th a * p. 478. Started that the first member is declared by the owner of -ost with ǀ Gui = one, and the owner of -west understands it as ╪gui = many, many. And yet both of the statements do not stick, simply because the member gui- is not really gui-, but originallyǃ Gu-, cf. Guganab in this band.

afr Dit geld hier plaas nr 273, ’n onderverdeling blykens die toevoeging 'Gui- ganab-Ost'. Mnr Van Rensburg, eienaar van -Ost, verklaar die betekenis anders as mnr Espach, eienaar van -West, kyk TH A* 477. Taalkundig is mnr Van Rensburg se verklaring verkieslik, gerugsteun deur mnr Xaregeb en sy span. Dit is ’n naam saamgestel uit Nama ǀgui = een, en ǀǀgana- = kameeldoringboom. Acacia giraffae. Die motivering is oortuigend en pa- troonmatig (die kameeldoringboom kom nog daar voor). Daarmee stem dit ooreen met die verklaring van GUIGANABIS, vgl. TH A* bl. 478. Opval- lend dat die eerste lid deur die eienaar van -Ost verklaar word met ǀ gui = een, en die eienaar van -West dit verstaan as ╪gui = vele, baie. En tog hou albei die verklarings nie steek nie, eenvoudig omdat die lid Gui- nie regtig Gui- is nie, maar oorspronklik ǃGu- was, vgl. GUGANAB in hierdie band.
