ǀAebes

Here is talk of the native name for the Warmbath 2818, a while also called Nesbitt's Bath, or just the bath, and next to it we have three namaname, the best known Aigams or oak (H) AMS (also for Windhoek), a Others are Nabis, the third abread, look for discussion. These Eibees are likely to understand as ǀ AIBIS, D.W.S. ǀ Ai- [ǀ Ae] = fire, and the locative -bi, with -s for the source name, thus 'fire (hot) source'. The Eibeans are not a rapid ruling of ABEES. Leue River is an alternative name for the ǀǀ Homs.

Description
eng Here is talk of the native name for the Warmbath 2818, a while also called Nesbitt's Bath, or just the bath, and next to it we have three namaname, the best known Aigams or oak (H) AMS (also for Windhoek), a Others are Nabis, the third abread, look for discussion. These Eibees are likely to understand as ǀ AIBIS, D.W.S. ǀ Ai- [ǀ Ae] = fire, and the locative -bi, with -s for the source name, thus 'fire (hot) source'. The Eibeans are not a rapid ruling of ABEES.

afr Hier is sprake van die inboorlingnaam vir die Warmbad 2818, ’n rukkie ook Nesbitt’s Bath genoem, of gewoonweg net die Bad, en daarnaas het ons drie Namaname, die bekendste is AIGAMS of Eik(h)ams (ook vir Windhoek), ’n ander is NABIS, die derde ABEES, kyk daar vir bespreking. Hierdie Eibees is waarskynlik te begryp as ǀAibis, d.w.s. ǀai- [ǀae-] = vuur, en die lokatief -bi, met -s vir die bronnaam, dus 'Vuur(warm)bron'. Die Eibees is in die geval nie 'n wisseluitspraak van ABEES nie. leeurivier is ’n alternatiewe naam vir die ǀǀHoums.
