Giemie (Se Laagte)
We could not identify the plant species. Smith and what also contains the name in this form. We are provisionally assuming that the word from Khoekhens may tribe. Or is the ground word perhaps a deformation of the botanical name for the body, T.w. of Ximenia sp.?

Ons kon die plantsoort nie identifiseer nie. Smith en WAT bevat die naam in hierdie vorm ook nie. Ons neem voorlopig aan dat die woord uit Khoekhoens mag stam. Of is die grondwoord miskien 'n vervorming van die botaniese naam vir die suurpruim, t.w. van Ximenia sp.?
