Anibes

Under the name no longer a post office. We suspect that the meaning will be 'feeling place', such as Nama ani- = feel, with place-nominant exit -bi-s, outgoing on the genus indexes of the Fern, and very usual at fountains and open waters. Located at the southeast of Springbok at the 30th latitude, m.a.w. Where anegas is also situated. It strengthens our derivation of 'feeling place', better 'Voelfontein'.

Description
eng Under the name no longer a post office. We suspect that the meaning will be 'feeling place', such as Nama ani- = feel, with place-nominant exit -bi-s, outgoing on the genus indexes of the Fern, and very usual at fountains and open waters.

afr Onder die naam nie meer 'n poskantoor nie. Ons vermoed dat die betekenis 'Voelplek' sal wees, soos Nama ani- = voel, met plekbenoemende uitgang -bi-s, uitgaande op die genusindeks -s van die fern, en baie gebruiklik by fonteine en oop waters. geleë ten suidooste van Springbok by die 30e breedtegraad, m.a.w. daar waar ook ANEGAS gesitueer is. Dit versterk ons afleiding van 'Voelplek', beter 'Voelfontein'.
