Quaxous
This is the name of a head 1242 meters high, located in the Richtersveld just below the sevenths. We have no other help than just the sound complex and the associations he raises. Then it looks as if the qua- sufficient match the name De qua we declared as 'bait- feel (head)', cf. to see the old nama word for 'vulture', What we have for the vulture kolbii the location of kx'ao- (cf. Hott 204 and 475). The -xou- is like Nama for 'Scheissdreck' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 48), the whole 'Vulture manure (place)'.

Dit is die naam van 'n kop 1242 meter hoog, geleë in die Richtersveld net onderkant die Sewesusters. Ons het geen ander hulp nie as net die klank- kompleks en die assosiasies wat hy opwek. Dan lyk dit of die Qua- vol- doende ooreenstem met die naam De Qua wat ons verklaar het as 'Aas- voel(kop)', vgl. die inskrywing QUA, DE, om daarin die ou Namawoord vir 'aasvoel' te sien, waarvoor ons vir die Vultur kolbii die vindplaas het van kx'ao- (vgl. HOTT 204 en 475). Die -xou- is wel soos Nama vir 'Scheissdreck' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 48), die geheel 'Aasvoelmis(plek)'.
