Description

Then as Nama 11kae- [ǀǀ Khae] = 'Sand (FlossSand, Bausand' (Rust 1960 DNW 51). On the topokadastral series 1: 250 000, the name does not appear as a farm name. There is a Kheisberg on 2818 DD, the location indicator for this farm was taken over. In th a ** 701, we reported the statement of Kheis (Berg) as 'Pofadder' on the authority of another informant. In view of Rev.

Dan soos Nama 11kae- [ǀǀkhae-] = 'Sand (Flusssand, Bausand' (Rust 1960 DNW 51). Op die Topokadastrale reeks 1:250 000 kom die naam nie as plaasnaam voor nie. Daar is wel ’n Kheisberg op 2818 DD, daarvan is die liggingaanduiding vir hierdie plaas oorgeneem. In TH A** 701 het ons op gesag van 'n ander informant die verklaring van KHEIS(BERG) aangegee as 'Pofadder'. In die lig van ds. Engelbrecht se mededeling dat die plaas ook bekend word as Sanddrif of Dryfsand, sowel as op taalkundige gronde, kan die verklaring van die plaasnaam Kheis as 'Sanddrif' of 'Dryfsand' moontlik die juiste wees.
