Auros
We believe that there should be no doubt that the name of this farm No 127 on S 2818 'Fountain' or 'Kleinfontein' means. Apart from the particular suction consonant at Hahn and Vice, there is the double name on the cricke marte, the one with the diministly formal, the second with the other reduction index -, so he means 'Kleinfontein'. The -s are locative in source names. Interestingly, Mrs. Dippenaar in the AU- the Afrikaans 'old' see, 'Oufontein'. At Nama ǀ Au-, ǀ ou- = fountain.

Ons glo dat daar nie veel twyfel behoort te wees dat die naam van hierdie plaas nr 127 op S 2818 'Fonteintjie' of 'Kleinfontein' beteken nie. Afgesien van die bepaalde suigkonsonant by Hahn en Kiepert is daar die dubbele naam op die Kriegskarte, die een met die diminitiefformans -ro-, die tweede met die ander verkleiningsindeks -da-, dus ook hy beteken 'Kleinfontein'. Die -s is lokatief by bronname. Interessant dat mev. Dippenaar in die Au- die Afrikaanse 'ou-' sien, 'Oufontein'. By Nama ǀau-, ǀou- = fontein.
