Origin of the Kambarangoh name
editIt is unlikely that Kambarangoh is named after the telecom station. It is more likely the telecom station was named after the ridge.
Kamburangau is clearly the same ridge (although different spelling) - and is mentioned by Gibbs (p. 36) as being 7,000ft. Gibbs, L.S. (1914) A contribution to the flora and plant formations on Mt Kinabalu and the highlands of British North Borneo. The Journal of the Linnean Society. Botany, 42: 1-240.
The name Kambarangah [note spelling: Kamborangah - spelling variations are not unusual in this area] was also in use at least as early as April 1929. Insect specimens of about 14 differenet species were recorded from here by Hanitsch, R. (1933b) The Blattidae of Mount Kinabalu British North Borneo. Journal of the Federated Malay States Museums, 17(2): 297-337. WildManOfBorneo (talk) 15:25, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Also the spelling Kemburongoh (i.e. a 4th different spelling) is used on a map (fig. 2, page 20) in Wong, K.M. & Phillips, A. (1996) Kinabalu, Summit of Borneo. Sabah Society, Kota Kinabalu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WildManOfBorneo (talk • contribs) 15:42, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
