Eytees, Eyties

Eyties' is farm no. q. 7-21, District Kenhardt, directly west of Pofad- der; It borders on 'Pofadder West'. In the southwest corner of 'Pofad- der West', near the border of 'Eyties', the head is 'redhead' with triangle basin No. 27 on it. This gives us the suspicion that the 'member 'ey-' of the name Eyties such as Nama ǀ Ai- [ǀ Ae] = fire (Rest 1960 DNW 21), transfer 'red' for the color pen print. Support for this statement we find that Cabas lying on the north side of Pofadder West and may have been declared 'red' (th a ** 601), and that other place names in the area contain the component 'red' , e.g. 'Red banks'. For the use of 'fire' to express 'red', cf. and Keimas (Mund) and Keimoe in th a ** 684-85. On the corresponding topographical map 1975 'Eyties' is reported as 'Eytees'. The Second member of this name, viz. -Tees or ties, such as the Lo catiefmorfeem - plus the lock -s Fern. Sing, to indicate particular fountains and resources. 'Rooifontein'

Description
eng Eyties' is farm no. q. 7-21, District Kenhardt, directly west of Pofad- der; It borders on 'Pofadder West'. In the southwest corner of 'Pofad- der West', near the border of 'Eyties', the head is 'redhead' with triangle basin No. 27 on it. This gives us the suspicion that the 'member 'ey-' of the name Eyties such as Nama ǀ Ai- [ǀ Ae] = fire (Rest 1960 DNW 21), transfer 'red' for the color pen print. Support for this statement we find that Cabas lying on the north side of Pofadder West and may have been declared 'red' (th a ** 601), and that other place names in the area contain the component 'red' , e.g. 'Red banks'. For the use of 'fire' to express 'red', cf. and Keimas (Mund) and Keimoe in th a ** 684-85. On the corresponding topographical map 1975 'Eyties' is reported as 'Eytees'. The Second member of this name, viz. -Tees or ties, such as the Lo catiefmorfeem - plus the lock -s Fern. Sing, to indicate particular fountains and resources. 'Rooifontein'
afr Eyties' is plaas nr Ken. q. 7-21, distrik Kenhardt, direk wes van Pofad- der; dit grens aan 'Pofadder West'. In die suidwestelike hoek van 'Pofad- der West', naby die grens van 'Eyties', is die kop 'Rooikop' met driehoeksbaken nr 27 daarop. Dit laat by ons die vermoede ontstaan dat die' lid 'Ey-' van die naam Eyties soos Nama ǀai- [ǀae ] = vuur (Rust 1960 DNW 21), oordragtelik 'rooi' vir die kleurindruk, kan wees. Steun vir hierdie verklaring vind ons daarin dat KABAS wat aan die noordekant van Pofadder West le en daaraan grens, ook dalk as 'rooi' verklaar is (TH A** 601), en dat ander plekname in die omgewing die komponent 'rooi' bevat, bv. 'Rooibanke'. Vir die gebruik van 'vuur' om 'rooi' uit te druk, vgl. o.a. KEIMAS(MUND) en KEIMOE in TH A** 684-85. Op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1975 word 'Eyties' aangegee as 'Eytees'. Die tweede lid van hierdie naam, nl. -tees of -ties, is soos die lo- katiefmorfeem -te- plus die slot -s fern. sing, om veral fonteine en bronne aan te dui. 'Rooifontein'
