Thompson 1824 Travels 298 '...we reached a place called Goubus...Here...we procured water by digging in some old pits, between the masses of rock, which form a sort of basin or trough, in which the rain water is collected. It is from this circumstance that the spot derives its name — Goubus, in the Bushman language signifying ‘Trough Fountain’.' Pettman 1921 SAJS 17 336 'Goubus (Hot. ╪goub = a wooden watertrough) is the name of a small place at the foot of the Kamiesberg, little Nama- qualand'.

Klaarblyklik van Nama, soos ook by Pettman wat die verwysing van Thompson na Boesman afwys met ’n uitroepteken. Mnr FK Krenz 1974 Aantekening ken die Namawoord wat deur Pettman gegee is, gedevelariseer as ╪oub = 'Holzgefiiss, Schale, Boot, Trog'.
