eng Wikar 1779 VRV 15 108 'Van Amkam's Na Namis Getrokken'. MOSSOP 1935 VRV 15 18 'Namis, Nama: Nams (Tongue). Not identified. At Enormous Tongue-Shaped Rock ... A Mile Distant from Awrhrabies Falls Points to the Falls from the Southern Bank of the Orange River But There is no evidence that this Rock Was Known by Name to the Local Bastard-Hottentots '. Ibid. 108 VN 34 'Nams, Tongue or Namis, Four-Sided, is Unidentetz'. Moritz 1971 Museum 3/3 4 [Nav Wikar Se Namis:] 'When examining the Naravelder at Kuiseb, I also came to the name Naris. The Interpretation would be stated with area. Namis is the small area, and Namib, the name for the Wiiste, is the big area ... the interpretation 'Namis' with area will also apply to the orange, which is based on geographical ratios and the map of Wikar is better possible '.

Namis ist die kleine Fläche, und Namib, der Name für die Wiiste, ist die grosse Fläche...So wird auch am Orange die Deutung ’namis’ mit Fläche zutreffen, was nach geographischen Verhaltnissen und der Karte von Wikar besser moglich ist'.
