afr Plaas Nam.Q. 10-33 le suidwes van Steinkopf. Die -bie- (-be-) dui aan dat dit ’n pleknaam is, die fern. sing, -s waarskynlik dat daar oorspronklik ’n fontein was. Nom- in die gegewe sin is plaaslik bekend, maar is moeilik oortuigend te verbind met wat in ons woordvoorraad is. Krenz FK 1974 Aantekening dink aan ǀum = 'saugen', bv. aan ’n murgbeen. Semanties klop dit egter nie met die 'plaaslike oorlewering' (Van Heerde) nie. Op die Topo-kadastrale reeks 1965 vel 2916 Springbok word die plaasnaam gespel 'Nombies'.
