Description: The word ‘//kabbo’ became my first introduction into /Xam cosmology through the story of //- Kabbo Jantjie Tooren. It's meaning is associated with the ancestral dreamscape.

As the popular narrative goes, //Kabbo was an elderly /Xam storyteller who had been imprisoned at Breakwater Convict Station in Cape Town in the late 1800’s. He was then released into the custody of a pair of researchers who housed him with more /Xam and !Xun speakers at their residence in Mowbray, Cape Town.
