geleë suidoos van Springbok aan die rypad. Nama kai = groot, -am- = mond, en -s (fern, sing.) wat hier ’n bron aandui, wel in of by die vlei. Die naam vineǃ ons nie meer terug op die moderne kaarte wat tot ons beskik- king is nie. 'Grootfonteinvlei', met -am- of mond vertaal as '-fontein', soos gewoon in sulke plekname.
