ǂNū-aiseb
Flierdie Bergn just below Skimmelberg and western of Vioolsdrif originally had a Khoekhoian name: The census card gives the name the first, then next to his literal translation in English as 'Black Face', a translation that was later extended to Black Face Mountain , whereby 'faced' and 'Mountains' are also heard. The Khoekhoense name disappeared completely. Noteworthy that we have the translation in English here. The TC. Suggest the T, at TNU = black, and claim [AI-S] = 'HEAL' (RANT 1960 DNW 27), PLUS-SI-B whose -Stonimic index is, and ML. EKV. -B The terminal indicating mountain names.

Flierdie berg net onderkant Skimmelberg en westelik van Vioolsdrif het oorspronklik ’n Khoekhoense naam gehad: die Sensuskaart gee die naam die eerste aan, dan daarnaas sy letterlike vertaling in Engels as 'Black Face', ’n vertaling wat later uitgebrei is tot Black Face Mountain, waar- naas 'Faced' en 'Mountains' ook gehoor is. Die Khoekhoense naam het heeltemal verdwyn. Opmerklik dat ons hier die vertaling in Engels het. Die Tc. stel die T voor, by Tnu- = swart, en eis [ai-s] = 'Gesicht' (Rust 1960 DNW 27), plus -si-b waarvan die -si- toponimiese indeks is, en die ml. ekv. -b die terminaal wat hier bergname aandui.
