Here are two-buoying farms, Naruchas No. 49 and N.-East No. 50. The name shows the usual change again N and H (cf. 5 d 6) for which the ground word today through eg. Kr. 1969 NW 158 spelled as .

Hier is twee belendende plase, Naruchas nr 49 en N.-Oos nr 50. Die naam toon weer die gewone wisseling n- en h- (vgl. 5 D 6) waarvoor die grondwoord vandag deur bv. Kr.-R. 1969 NW 158 gespel word as ǀharu- = 'die Binse...Binsenmatte...' Die -cha- is ook te verstaan soos Nama -xa- = baie, ryk aan (biesies, hier), anders soos by die plaaseienaar. Die -s se hier dat die beginpunt van die naam waarskynlik 'n fontein was. 'Biesiesputs, -fontein'. Uit verskeie opgawes het ons net hierdie een geval gegee - daar is by die ander geen verskil in uitleg nie.
