ǂAro-ams

For meaning cf. Aoam 1918. A1 shows the names on the intrusive and widespread presence of the guard-a-bit or ziziphus mucronatus, also with other ingredients as the -ams = mouth (ing); The Khoekhoense name is expressed in Afrikaner's mouth arro, and must be distinguished from the namanaam for the Albizzia Sp. For all certainty again it is said that here is particularly talk of the shining-leaf wait - a little tree.

afr Vir betekenis vgl. AROAM 1918. A1 die name wys op die opdringerige en wydverspreide aanwesigheid van die wag-’n-bietjieboom of Ziziphus mucronatus, ook met ander bestanddele as die -ams = mond(ing); die Khoekhoense naam word in Afrikanermond uitgespreek arro, en moet onderskei word van die Namanaam aru- vir die Albizzia sp. Vir alle sekerheid word weer gesê dat hier veral sprake is van die blinkblaar-wag-’n- bietjieboom.
