Place and road transport quality 6 km from Augrabies waterfall. PNK game name of stops as above. Look in what 1968 5 143 over Kaiingklip, 'loose, hard stone, weight. (dark) brown or whitish with brown spots, which make thinking of a tanned kaiing '. If the first member is now a color name, then possibly 'greyish-white', as in Naudau (Alw.) We believe that closely as Mr Opperman claims, 'white clip' means, a statement that is also topographically grounded . Noordoos of closely and in the immediate vicinity (just across the river. To the west, the farm 'white stone' is not known. Q.5-14 (Topo Cadastral Series 1966 Skin 2820 Upington). If the first member of closely, viz. Now, as Nau- in the name Naudau is and 'white' means, and the closing member, - section, locative is like Namaes, then we have in the component -don- a word for kaiingklip that we do not record elsewhere Found and what if such is a profit for our word supply. Based on the farm and place names in the area (white stone, white clip, Witkop and Witklip's mountain), we believe that white clip can be the translation of the inland name.

Description
eng Place and road transport quality 6 km from Augrabies waterfall. PNK game name of stops as above. Look in what 1968 5 143 over Kaiingklip, 'loose, hard stone, weight. (dark) brown or whitish with brown spots, which make thinking of a tanned kaiing '. If the first member is now a color name, then possibly 'greyish-white', as in Naudau (Alw.) We believe that closely as Mr Opperman claims, 'white clip' means, a statement that is also topographically grounded . Noordoos of closely and in the immediate vicinity (just across the river.

afr Plaas en padvervoerhalte 6 km van Augrabieswaterval. PNK spel naam van halte soos hierbo. Kyk in WAT 1968 5 143 oor kaiingklip, 'los, harde klip, gew. (donker)bruin of witterig met bruin vlekke, wat aan ’n bruingebrande kaiing laat dink'. Indien die eerste lid Nou- 'n kleurnaam is, dan moontlik 'gryserig-wit', soos in NAUDAU (alw.) Ons meen dat Noudonsies wel, soos mnr Opperman beweer, 'Witklip' beteken, ’n verklaring wat ook topografies gegrond is. Noordoos van Noudonsies en in die onmiddellike omgewing daarvan (net oorkant die rivierloop) is 'Witklipeiland' (Topografiese reeks 1975 vel 2820 Upington). Ten weste daarvan is die plaas 'Wit Klip' nr Ken. Q.5-14 (Topo-kadastrale reeks 1966 vel 2820 Upington). Indien die eerste lid van Noudonsies, nl. Nou-, soos Nau- in die naam NAUDAU is en 'wit' beteken, en die slotlid, -sies, lokatief is soos Nama -ses, dan het ons in die komponent -don- ’n woord vir kaiingklip wat ons nie elders opgeteken gevind het nie en wat as sodanig ’n wins is vir ons woordvoorraad. Op grond van die plaas- en plekname in die omgewing (Wit Klip, Witklipeiland, Witkop en Witklip se Berg) meen ons dat Witklip die vertaling van die inlandse naam kan wees.
