Kabbo
ǁKábbo (pronounced approximately [ǁ͡kábo]; KAB-oh; c. 1815 – 25 January 1876) (with additional names ǀŬhī-ddor̄ŏ and Jantje Tooren) was a storyteller and chronicler of ǀXam culture and knowledge. He was a member of the ǀXam people, a San people of South Africa. From 1871 to 1873, he lived with Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd and played an important role in contributing to the Bleek and Lloyd collection. Many of his stories were published in Specimens of Bushman Folklore; they provide rich information on the life, rituals, and beliefs of ǀXam society.
