Usap
Apparently a fountain or river on the southern bank of the Orange River west of the point where the Grootfish River inflows. The name is declared by his translation, and therefore joins Nama ǀ U-S - 'Unwistsheit, Unkenntnis'. The exit is possible to understand asǃ A-B in the sense of run, 'Ein Periodic Sich Fiillends und Wieder Trocken Laufendes Flussbett' (Schultze 1904-5 Anuk 159).

Blykbaar 'n fontein of riviertjie aan die suidelike oewer van die Oranjerivier wes van die punt waar die Grootvisrivier invloei. Die naam word deur sy vertaling verklaar, en sluit dus aan by Nama ǀu-s - 'Unwissenheit, Unkenntnis'. Die uitgang is moontlik te begryp as ǃa-b in die sin van 'n lopie, 'ein periodisch sich fiillendes und wieder trocken laufendes Flussbett' (Schultze 1904-5 ANUK 159).
