Kamkous
There is no direct indication of the meaning. We believe there is indirect indication, at least for part of the name. The place lies at the Olifants River, roughly between Lutzville and Vredendal.

Daar is geen regstreekse aanduiding van die betekenis nie. Ons meen daar is onregstreekse aanduiding, altans vir 'n deel van die naam. Die plek le aan die Olifantsrivier, ruweg so tussen lutzville en Vredendal. Die 12 km noordwes van Vredendal bring ons op of naby aan 'Bakkely Plaats' 282, en aan 'Bakleiplaas' A nr 182. 'Baklei' is in Nama Ikam (Rust 1960 DNW 24), sodat ons ooreenstemming tussen Kamkous en Bakleiplaas in ligging het, en t.o.v. die eerste komponent ook semantiese ooreenkoms. ’n 'Geveg' is in Nama Ikamgu- (Rust 25), sodat dit lyk of Kamkou- (die -s van die vr. ekv. is hier lokativerende uitgang) van die naam en die Ikamgu- vir 'geveg' mekaar dek. Kamkous is dan 'Gevegsplek', soos dit wil voorkom
