On the topographical series 1974 Skin 2816 Alexander Bay appears that appears to be the same as in the return of two years later (1976) as 'N'Guroeebees', and on the corresponding quartergrad squad of the scale 50 000, published in 1970, as 'AGurues'. The N'- and the 'n- set a suction patch. The -s of the Fern. Singing, will indicate a water location, like a fountain, the -bee- is a locative to the basket that will be here as Nama ǀǀ Guru- = 'Quarz, Sieelgrund' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 143). The 'Graisfontein'.

Op die Topografiese reeks 1974 vel 2816 Alexander Bay verskyn die naam wat blykbaar dieselfde is as in die opgawe van twee jaar later (1976) as 'N’Guroebees', en op die ooreenstemmende kwartgraadvierkantjie van die skaal 50 000, uitgegee in 1970, as '’nGuroebees'. Die N’- en die ’n- stel ’n suigklap voor. Die -s van die fern. sing, sal wel ’n waterplek aandui, soos ’n fontein, die -bee- is ’n lokatiefsuffiks aan die grondwoord wat hier wel sal wees soos Nama ǀǀguru- = 'Quarz, Kieselgrund' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 143). Die 'Gruisfontein'.
