Naukoti
The member nau- is for the 'red' of the place name and will be the word for Namaǃ Now-b What Kr.-. 1969 NW 300 declared 'der rote Ocker'. Then, -Koti must stand for 'sand', as Nama 11khae-S, MV. -ti, now -di, the whole of the composition is compatible with Namaǃ Nau-J ǀ Khaedi, 'red ocher sand grains', topographically based, which is according to Mossop. Because of the tribal, there is still doubt about the second component. Incidentally, we pay attention to a facet of the difficulties with which the nameness is to do if the records are made incomplete: - 'White', cf. Naudau.

Die lid Nau- is vir die 'Rood-' van die pleknaam en sal die woord vir Nama ǃnou-b wees wat Kr.-R. 1969 NW 300 verklaar as 'der rote Ocker'. Dan moet -koti staan vir 'sand', wel soos Nama 11khae-s, mv. -ti, nou -di, die geheel van die samestelling is verenigbaar met Nama ǃNau-jǀkhaedi, 'Rooi Oker- sandkorrels', topografies gefundeer, wat volgens Mossop juis is. vanweë die stamklinker is daar nog twyfel oor die tweede komponent. Ons let terloops op ’n faset van die moeilikhede waarmee die naamkundige te doen kry as die optekeninge onvolledig gemaak is: Hier is die lid Nau- 'rooi', maar effens verder kom Schrijver se gesêlskap uit by Nau-dau, en dan is Nau- 'wit', vgl. NAUDAU.
