Khoiǃhoms
Man' is in Nama Khoi - [Khoe] (Rust 1960 DNW 42), so that the first member of the Afrikaans name Monde kick directly joins the first member of the Khoekhoen name Khoinoms. 'Head' is in Nama Tana- [Dana-J (Rust 36), but 'hill' for which 'head' is often used is 'ǃ Nomi,ǃ Noms' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 298). 'Menskop' is therefore a literal translation of the inland name Khoinoms.

Description
eng
Man' is in Nama Khoi - [Khoe] (Rust 1960 DNW 42), so that the first member of the Afrikaans name Monde kick directly joins the first member of the Khoekhoen name Khoinoms. 'Head' is in Nama Tana- [Dana-J (Rust 36), but 'hill' for which 'head' is often used is 'ǃ Nomi,ǃ Noms' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 298). 'Menskop' is therefore a literal translation of the inland name Khoinoms.
afr
Mens' is in Nama Khoi- [Khoe-] (Rust 1960 DNW 42), sodat die eerste lid van die Afrikaanse naam Menskop regstreeks aansluit by die eerste lid van die Khoekhoense naam Khoinoms. 'Kop' is in Nama tana- [dana-j (Rust 36), maar 'heuwel' waarvoor 'kop' dikwels gebruik word, is 'ǃnomi, ǃnoms' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 298). 'Menskop' is dus 'n letterlike vertaling van die inlandse naam Khoinoms.
