Kinda like saying Tahlequah, Oologah, Tsa-La-Gi or Miami
Hey..., I’m from both places (Pacific Northwest and Oklahoma)... so I know exactly what you mean.... :-)
Even some Okies don’t say Miami “right”... (but if you watch the weather on the local news, you can’t miss it...)
Have you driven the road from Swakopmund to Okaukuejo? You pass through Otjiwarongo and Outjo. If you go left there you’ll end up in Khorixas. Take a right and and you can circle around to Tsumeb and Grootfontein. And I’m not kidding.
