eng Also see Eiaeas where we showed tentatively on the possibility that Gordon's 'Ezelsfontein' may be the translation of the old name. Now we can fix things. 'Doelsfontein' is not the translation of Eiaeas or Yas. It is an alternative name from Gordon and his said. The meaning as 'front elole' was also given incorrectly indicated by Mossop 1935 and Van Vredes 1958, K Eiaeas. Looking at the topo-cadastral series 1967 Skin 2818 Warmbaths, then it appears that 'Yas in the subdivision of its western half the farms 'Warmbad North' No Gr. 147/1952 and 'Warmbad Zuid' No. 147/1952. At the corresponding topographical map 1973 is at the place where Gordon and Wikar's eiaeas have been, according to Schead CJ 1973 Gazette 253 at K 2823/1940 and 2836/1941 reported a water location indicated in blue with 'Hot Jump'. Now it's linguistically similar to Nama ǀ AIS [ǀ AE-S] = 'Feuer' (Rust 1960 DNW 21), plus A-S = hole, opening, or better, plus ǀǀ A- to wash or bathe. Eiaeas therefore literally means 'Warmbaths' (or hot waterhole). 'Warmbaths', the name of these two adjacent farms on the western side of the current 'Yas, and earlier part of it, translate the old Khoekhoen name' Yas, shortened from Eiaeas, aijaas, but still pronounced twelfetrate, look of the spokesman of surveying. The farms just west of Schuitsdrift received their name of the Warmbath, a name preserved in his Khoekhoen as' Yas, and in his Afrikaans translation as Warmbaths. For the first member, refer to names such as Aiais, Eibees, Aigams, etc.

afr Kyk ook EIAAS waar ons tentatief op die moontlikheid gewys het dat Gordon se 'Ezelsfontein' die vertaling van die ou naam mag wees. Nou kan ons sake regstel. 'Eselsfontein' is nie die vertaling van Eiaas of ’Yas nie. Dit is wel ’n alternatiewe naam afkomstig van Gordon en sy gesêlskap. Die betekenis as 'Front Elole' is ook bepaald verkeerd aangegee deur Mossop 1935 en Van Vreeden 1958, k EIAAS. Kyk ons na die Topo-kadastrale reeks 1967 vel 2818 Warmbad, dan blyk dit dat ’Yas by die onderverdeling daarvan aan sy westelike helfte die plase 'Warmbad Noord' nr Gr. 147/1952 en 'Warmbad Zuid' nr 147/1952 geword het. Op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart 1973 word op die plek waar Gordon en Wikar se Eiaas gewees het, volgens Skead CJ 1973 Gazetteer 253 by K 2823/1940 en 2836/1941 ’n waterplek aangegee wat daar in blou aangedui word met 'Hot Spring'. Nou stem dit taalkundig alles ooreen met Nama ǀais [ǀae-s] = 'Feuer' (Rust 1960 DNW 21), plus a-s = gat, opening, of beter, plus ǀǀa- om te was of te bad. Eiaas beteken dus letterlik 'Warmbad' (of Vuurwarm watergat). 'Warmbad', die naam van hierdie twee aangrensende plase aan die westelike kant van die huidige ’Yas, en vroeër deel daarvan, vertaal die ou Khoekhoense naam ’Yas, verkort uit Eiaas, Aiaas, maar wat tog nog tweelettergrepig uitgespreek word, kyk opmerking van die segsman van Opmeting. Die plase net wes van Schuitsdrift het hulle naam van die warmbad gekry, ’n naam wat in sy Khoekhoense vorm as ’Yas bewaar is, en in sy Afrikaanse vertaling as Warmbad. Vir die eerste lid word verwys na name soos AIAIS, EIBEES, AIGAMS ens.
