Nousees

Gordon about 1779 recorded 'Sweet' as 'Ausun in' Namaqua Hotten Tots Language '(Ms 2 38), in Nama Currently Auseni (Rest 1960 DNW 55), and' Schwach Fluencess 'is ǀ Old (Aid. 73). The N- then probably from the ǀ guy, whose nasalized vowel was realized as N- who flows with the word for 'sweat'. As it occurs, working with this data, the ground word ǀ Au = swakkies flow, and is the 'sweat' a pussy distraction. The closing section is spot indicator, the - specific of a fountain. Located southeast of Pofadder.

Die Hottentotte het in die rivier water gegrawe, dan het hulle dit gorra genoem, en as dit baie swak was, het hulle dit klein sweet genoem, daarvandaan die naam Nouses.

afr Gordon ongeveer 1779 het 'sweet' opgeteken as 'ausun in 'Namaqua hotten- tots taal' (ms 2 38), in Nama tans auseni (Rust 1960 DNW 55), en 'schwach fliessen' is ǀou (aid. 73). Die N- kom dan waarskynlik van die ǀou, waarvan die genasaleerde klinker gerealiseer is as n- wat met die woord vir 'sweet' saamgevloei het. Soos dit ons voorkom, werkende met hierdie gegewens, is die grondwoord ǀau = swakkies vloei, en is die 'sweet' ’n poetiese afleiding. Die slotgedeelte is plekaanduidend, die -s spesifiek van ’n fontein. geleë suidoos van Pofadder.
