eng The farm is north of the Salt River in the north-western corner of the Vredendal district. His western boundary is the Atlantic Ocean. The granting of the northeastern boundary of 'Karoeties head' is the northeastern border of 'Rietfontein Extension', farm No. Clw. Q. 10-6. The Salt River is the northern border of 'Rietfontein Extension'. The farms Karoeties head and Rietfontein Extension form m.a.w. a geographical unit. After analogic of the many other similar cases, we would expect that next to the topographical context would also be a toponimic connection between 'Karoeties' and 'Rietfontein'. We believe there is such a mortgage. 'Binds' are in Nama Jharus (Rest 1960 DNW 11). With the well-known Wisse- ling of H and K (cf. th a * 45 at 5 c 3) is 'Karoe' connectable to 'Haru'. The second member of the name Karoeties, M.A.W. -ti-, then the mv. Fri. From ǀ Harus, Karoetie- is like Nama ǀ Haruti [ǀ Harudi]. The lock-on is then the Genustration of the VR. Ekv., lived at waters such as fountains. If it is precisely, 'Rietfontein' is a free translation of 'car routes'. The head on the farm 'Karoeties head' is reported on the corresponding topographical map 1973 as 'Karootjieskop', which in the member 'Karoo' may be an analogy adaptation and who sees the African Diminutiefmorphem in the member.

afr Die plaas le noord van die Soutrivier in die noordwestelike hoek van die distrik Vredendal. Sy westelike grens is die Atlantiese Oseaan. Die verlen- ging van die noordoostelike grens van 'Karoeties Kop' is die noordooste- like grens van 'Rietfontein Extension', plaas nr Clw. Q. 10-6. Die Soutrivier is die noordelike grens van 'Rietfontein Extension'. Die plase Karoeties Kop en Rietfontein Extension vorm m.a.w. 'n geografiese eenheid. Na analogic van die vele ander soortgelyke gevalle sou ons verwag dat daar naas die topografiese verband ook 'n toponimiese verband sou wees tussen 'Karoeties' en 'Rietfontein'. Ons meen daar is wel so ’n verband.'Binse' is in Nama jharus (Rust 1960 DNW 11). Met die bekende wisse- ling van h en k (vgl. TH A* 45 by 5 C 3) is 'Karoe-' verbindbaar met 'ǀHaru-'. Die tweede lid van die naam Karoeties, m.a.w. -ti-, is dan die mv. vr. van ǀharus, Karoetie- is soos Nama ǀharuti [ǀharudi]. Die slot -s is dan die genusteken van die vr. ekv., gewoon by waterplekke soos fonteine. Indien dit juis is, is 'Rietfontein' 'n vrye vertaling van 'Karoeties'. Die kop op die plaas 'Karoeties Kop' word op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1973 aangegee as 'Karootjieskop', wat in die lid 'Karoo-' dalk 'n analogiese aanpassing is en wat in die lid '-tjies' die Afrikaanse diminutiefmorfeem sien.
