Ariroep
The pre-obvious meaning of 'puppy' is certainly sound associated, Nama ari- = dog, plus reduction morphem. This is of course possible. However, we believe that the first member is rather like Nama Lari- = Capricorn (cf. Kr.- R. 1969 NW 29), and on the basis of the few subsequent places in the immediate environment with ingredient 'Capricorn'. Ariroep located west of Steinkopf, almost halfway to Port Nolloth. All over Ariroep at the same topographical height and across the void le 'small stone bay', south of him 'Capricorn' and then 'Capricorn's mountains' with a land surveyor on it. Unlawful in that area, many roe goats, and linguistically include the Ari of Ariroep, Nama for Capricorn, fully attached. The -P locates the mountain here. The -roe can be diminutive morpheme, in the case, the name 'stone goat (s) mountain' means.
