The α and some forms represent borrowings from Khoekhoe words of the same family which are formed from the base compound khoe-khoe by suffixation. The some forms show the 3rd person masculine singular suffix -b (formerly spelt †-p), i.e. their sense is ‘man belonging to the Khoekhoe people’. The some forms show the 3rd person neuter or common gender plural suffix -n, i.e. their sense is ‘several members of the Khoekhoe people’ or ‘the Khoekhoe people collectively’. However, in English, the distinction between these suffixes is often ignored; compare e.g. quots. 1801, 1969, 2005 at sense A. 1.
