Twadous
The Dou-S is like Nama Dao- = port, road, and here it is, as we hear, a rocky road that is in addition to the name, not inherent. In connection with the given meaning of 'neck', the first member may be a healed form ofǃ Au- = 'neck' (Rest 1960 DNW 44), with the t'- indicator of the sucking consonant. The -w- Then transition sound. 'Nekpoort'.

Die dou-s is wel soos Nama dao- = poort, pad, en hier is dit, soos ons hoor, 'n klipperige pad wat bykomstig by die naam is, nie inherent nie. In aansluiting by die gegewe betekenis van 'nek' is die eerste lid moontlik ’n verhaspelde vorm van ǃau- = 'nek' (Rust 1960 DNW 44), met die T'- ter aanduiding van die suigkonsonant. Die -w- is dan oorgangsklank. 'Nekpoort'.
