Somnaas, Somnaas(Baai)
Place NAM.Q. 10-32, Namaqualand, at sea, above Swartlintjiesrivier. Also the name of a baaitjie. The -terne appears as slotelement also at other bayinames, eg. In 'Koigneas (Bay)', about 6 km south of Somnich. The -terne, at Mrs. Rich-GNAs may be the word for bay, and then to connect toǃ Na-S = in, also dal. The sum can not be well accounted for. The combination -noon Bay is then toutology on a hybrid basis. The farm name may come from the bay name, rather than the other way around.

Plaas Nam.Q. 10-32, Namakwaland, aan see, bokant Swartlintjiesrivier. Ook die naam van ’n baaitjie. Die -naas verskyn as slotelement ook by ander baainame, bv. in 'Koignaas(baai)', ongeveer 6 km suid van Somnaas. Die -naas, by mev. Rich-gnas, is moontlik die woord vir baai, en dan wel te verbind met ǃna-s = in, ook dal. Die Som- kan ons nie goed verantwoord nie. Die kombinasie -naasbaai is dan toutologie op ’n hibridiese grondslag. Die plaasnaam kom moontlik van die baainaam, eerder as andersom.
