Die uitgang fern. sing, -s dui gewoonlik ’n fontein, puts, dam ens. aan, wel ook hier. Die lid -moe is soos Nama mu-s = oog, wateroog, fontein, by Ikhorob = 'Kalkstein' (Rust 1960 DNW 34), letterlik 'Kalkfontein'. Die verklaring berus op die uitspraak van die 'ouer inwoners' en die topografiese inligting; die verandering in die volksmond van die -o’s- tot -a’s- val op, van koro- tot garra. Die wisseling k- en g- is gewoon, hier van [k] en lx], vgl. 5 B 4.
