Uhabis
The fountain was an important rest and excitement point, and a connection point when the Reichspost was also introduced here in 1895. The name occurs repeatedly, with or without the marking of the -A, at missionaries who have developed an ear for more accurate version, always hurry with postsaling. We could have quoted enough examples, cf. e.g. Wandres 1895 QUELEN 9 123, 133 ETC. PNK's spokesman apparently goes out of U- ǀ hao = 'ZUSAMMEN- brings', but we see no reason against Kreenley's distraction, 'Habe- Quelle', with foundation Nama u-ha = HE, (Rest 1960 DNW 29 ). The -bis is placemend.

Die fontein was 'n belangrike rus- en uitspanningspunt, en 'n verbindingspunt toe die Reichspost in 1895 ook hier ingestel is. Die naam kom herhaaldelik voor, met of sonder die nasalering van die -a-, by sendelinge wat ’n oor vir noukeuriger weergawe ontwikkel het, haas altyd met nasalering. Ons kon hiervan genoeg voorbeelde aangehaal het, vgl. bv. Wandres 1895 Quellen 9 123, 133 ens. PNK se segsman gaan blykbaar uit van U-ǀhao = 'zusammen- bringen', maar ons sien geen rede teen Kroenlein se afleiding nie, 'Habe- quelle', met grondslag Nama u-ha = he, besit (Rust 1960 DNW 29). Die -bis is plekbenoemend.
