ǂĀ-ams
P / A AMS is reading as ╪A-AMS, with ╪ā- = reed, and am- = mouth, plus -s that locate. Rietmond, D.W.S. Rietfontein is the literal translation. It is not said where A-AMS is located, but according to what we could determine with certainty in other cases, A-AMS is probably the inland old name of the current Rietfontein on K 2918 CC, Dist. Namaqualand.

P/a ams is te lees as ╪A-ams, met ╪ā- = riet, en am- = mond, plus -s wat lokativeer. Rietmond, d.w.s. Rietfontein, is die letterlike vertaling. Dit word nie gesê waar A-ams geleë is nie, maar volgens wat ons met sekerheid in ander gevalle kon vasstel, is A-ams waarskynlik die inlandse ou naam van die huidige Rietfontein op K 2918 CC, dist. Namakwaland.
