afr Spelling behou soos in Plaasnaamlys. Vgl. verder AGGENEIS... ’n Interessante vraag is dit: het die berg sy naam van die kloof gekry waarin die bron gelê het? Dan spreek ons die vermoede uit dat die bron ’n rietbron was, en dat die A- soos Nama ╪ā = riet te verstaan is. Met die oog daarop dat die nadruk deur enkeles by AGGENEIS, bv. deur die geoloog E Koen, op die water gelê word, kan dit met enige regverdiging ook in verband gebring word met Nama ā = drink.
