Goanus
Alexander's Twanos has the same correlate as Goanus and so he heard the name; Perhaps because of the strange utterance he has a distraction that deviates badly. The translated name with the half-German spelling, viz. Children'sZitt, farm No. 132 just south of Warmbaths, Dist. Karasburg, the moody old name of Goanus displaced, composed of ǀ goa-n = children (pi. Comm.) And ╪nu = sit, plus lokativerende. There is no uncertainty about the meaning. The rise to the name for the source, the mountain, and now the farm, we are currently unknown.

Alexander se Twanos het dieselfde korrelate as Goanus en se dus hoe hy die naam gehoor het; miskien omrede van die vreemde uitspraak het hy ’n afleiding wat erg afwyk. Die vertaalde naam met die half-Duitse spelling, nl. Kinderzitt, plaas nr 132 net ten suide van Warmbad, dist. Karasburg, het die mooiklinkende ou naam van Goanus verdring, saamgestel uit ǀgoa-n = kinders (pi. comm.) en ╪nu = laat sit, plus lokativerende -s. Oor die betekenis is daar geen onsekerheid nie. Die aanleiding vir die naam vir die bron, die berg, en nou die plaas, is ons tans onbekend.
