Die fontein le in (of is dit aan?) die 'T.Cowiep', dit is die Kowieprivier. Die naam van die foniein het verdwyn. Wes van horn op die ou kaarte le 'Kalk Fontein'. Die ooreenstemming tussen die Ko- van Kobi- en sy Nama ǃkho- wat 'kalk' beteken (Rust 1960 DNW 34) en regstreeks aan- sluit by die Afrikaanse pleknaam Kalkfontein, maak dit baie aanneemlik dat die ou, nou verdwene naam Kobis(fontein) te verstaan is as Kalk(fon- tein). Die -bi- is ’n lokativerende element, die -s van die fern. sing, se dat dit hier bepaaldelik 'n fonteinnaam is. Die -s val weg in die vorm Ko- bie(fontein) en berei die weg voor vir volksetimologiese afdwaling, nl. om van die Khoekhoense naam ’n persoonsnaam Kobie te maak.
