ǃKhōses
About 24 km northwest of Steinkopf is listed on the topographical series 1974 sheet 2916 Springbok the school farm 'KOSIES'. If, as we believe the same place is that Mr De Klerk refers to above, we also find topographical support for his statement of the name Khosis as 'pipe clip', at Namaǃ Kho-S = 'Tabackspfeife' (Kr.-R .. 1969 NW name Pypklip gate at least partially translating the Khoekhoen name k (h) osi (e) s (mountain) Cadastral Series 1965 Skin 2916 Springbok. On topographical grounds it seems as if the mountain name can also be related to pipe clip.

Ongeveer 24 km noordwes van Steinkopf word op die Topografiese reeks 1974 vel 2916 Springbok die skoolplaas 'Kosies' aangegee. Indien dit, soos ons meen dieselfde plek is as waarna mnr De Klerk hierbo verwys, vind ons ook topografiese steun vir sy verklaring van die naam Khosis as 'pypklip-', by Nama ǃKho-s = 'Tabackspfeife' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 246). Suid en suidwes van die skoolplaas is die 'Kosiesberg', 1115 meter, met daarop driehoeksbaken nr 48. Aan die oostekant van Kosiesberg is 'Pyp- klippoort'. Soos in dergelike gevalle, meen ons dat die jonger Afrikaanse naam Pypklippoort ten minste gedeeltelik die vertaling van die Khoekhoense naam K(h)osi(e)s(berg) is. Omtrent 11 km noordwes van Kosies is ’n ander 'Kosiesberge', met daarop driehoeksbaken nr 32, vgl. die Topo- kadastrale reeks 1965 vel 2916 Springbok. Op topografiese gronde lyk dit asof die bergnaam ook met pypklip in verband gebring kan word. Vgl. ook TH A** 766 s.v. KOSIES, KOSIES(BERGE).
