afr Die ou naam wat vir hierdie rivier vergete geraak het, leef vertaald voort in sy Afrikaanse vorm 'Stinkfonteinrivier', gespel volgens die Topo-kadastrale reeks 1966 vel 2816 Alexander Bay, maar op die ooreenstemmende vel van die Topografiese reeks 1974 word dit gespel 'Stinkfontein se Rivier'. Hierdie en die sensuskaarte korreleer presies wat die ligging en rigting betref: die rivier vloei uit die suide (2817 CD) noordwaarts by Ek- steenfontein verby om later ooswaarts te buig voor dit op CB deur die Oranjerivier ontvang word. Dit blyk dat dit meer as een naam gehad het, soos OBEES en OGAS alwaar, en die Oureroop van die sensuskaart, tel- kens met die bestanddeel ǀo = stink, wat in die Afrikaanse vertaling behoue gebly het. Die sensuskaart se Osip geld vir die hele Stinkfonteinrivier; die geurigheid is moontlik van die water afkomstig. Die Tcs. stel die dentale suigklap voor; die -p (ml. ekv.) is hier die lokatiewe indeks van ’n riviernaam, die -si- is ’n plekbenoemer.
