The inside of my head is often like a cocktail party with a lot of people talking usually being much more clever than I am in real life.
When I read that “ The name "Hoba" comes from a Khoekhoegowab word meaning "gift". ”, the cocktail party mutter started up.
Oh, it means gift. That really goes to show the universality of the meaning of “gift”. Someone gave it to you. You didn’t ask for it and you can’t give it back. You don’t really know what to do with it. You put it on display, and people talk about it.
It’s a pretty cool meteorite. I looked up Khoekhoegowab in wikipedia, and that makes for some very interesting reading, altho obviously much of it sad.
