Dommeri
This name we met alone at Gordon, and without giving it a statement. The place is the rocky beach west of Classenpunt to about Hanglip. On the audio descending, one may look for a connection with another body part as the 'lip' of Hanglip, and then think of 'throat', Old Cape Domma, since 1691 recorded (Hott 335), in Nama Dommi (Rest 1960 DNW 34). Dom (-) is often i.v.m. Water used in the sense of export channel, slot etc. (cf. o.a. Ntodom (i) in th a ** 924-5).

Hierdie naam het ons alleen by Gordon teegekom, en sonder dat hy daarvan ’n verklaring gee. Die plek is die rotsige strand wes van Classenpunt tot ongeveer Hanglip. Op die klank afgaande kan 'n mens miskien 'n verband met ’n ander liggaamsdeel as die 'lip' van Hanglip soek, en kan dan dink aan 'keel', Ou-Kaaps domma, sedert 1691 opgeteken (HOTT 335), in Nama dommi (Rust 1960 DNW 34). Dom(-) is dikwels i.v.m. water gebruik in die sin van afvoerkanaal, gleuf ens. (vgl. o.a. NUDOM(I) in TH A** 924-5).
