eng Farm No Nam.q. 11-6, Dist. Namaqualand, on it a pan 'Oubeespan', and north le the farm 'Bitterfontein', and partly on it the pan 'Bitterfonteinpan'. There seems little doubt that this obese, exchange ruling guy in the name of the pan there on the farm, means 'bitterfontein', such as Nama Ou ǀ au] = 'Bitter' (Rest 1960 DNW 11), and -bee-s If pan-nominant suffix in this area, simply as a locative at open waters. The farm Bitterfontein Nam.q.11-2, spelled as registered 'bitter fountain', is apparently old and may have arisen as subdivision of the old and closed Strong obese, ie it is well possible that his Afrikaans name is translated. Interesting to note that this farm name is spelled on the corresponding topographical map 1974 as 'old beef', two words, which now looks like a pure African name , nettimologically developing obese or guy.

afr Plaas nr Nam.Q. 11-6, dist. Namakwaland, daarop ’n pan 'Oubeespan', en ten noorde le die plaas 'Bitterfontein', en gedeeltelik daarop die pan 'Bitter- fonteinpan'. Daar skyn min twyfel te wees dat hierdie Obees, wisseluitspraak Oubees in die naam van die pan daar op die plaas, beteken 'Bitterfontein', soos Nama ou ǀau] = 'bitter' (Rust 1960 DNW 11), en -bee-s as pan- benoemende suffiks in hierdie omgewing, gewoon as lokatief by oop waters. Die plaas Bitterfontein Nam.Q.11-2, daar gespel soos geregistreer 'Bitter Fontein', is blykbaar oud en het moontlik ontstaan as onderverdeling van die ou en toe nog groot Obees, d.w.s. dit is goed moontlik dat sy Afrikaanse naam vertaal is. Interessant om daarop te let dat hierdie plaasnaam op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1974 gespel word as 'Ou Bees', twee woorde, wat nou lyk soos 'n suiwer Afrikaanse naam, volksetimologies ontwikkel uit Obees of Oubees.
