The geographical and botanical conduction plead in favor of such a statement.

Description
eng On maps of Census 1891 and Veillet it is called 'Audanoep River', it flows from west to east in the Orange River just above water grass. The -SieP (-SIB / BEE) is placing forms. The Danni - reminds of Nama Dani- = honey, and the old, also au-, to Nama au = bitter, the 'place (-sp) of bitter (au) honey (Dani)'. This statement was presented to us and linguistic defensible.

The (wild) raisin forest, the Grewia Jlava, called in Nama. We believe that the member may be identified with it, and then the -Danni - well as Nama -dana- = head, the whole: 'Rosyn- tjieboskop', the name of which went on the rust that originated in the Head and then flowing northeast to its erasure in the Orange River.

afr Op kaarte van Sensus 1891 en van Veillet heet dit 'Audanoep River', dit vloei van wes na oos in die Oranjerivier net bokant Watergrasdrif. Die -siep (-sib/seb) is plekduidende formans. Die danni- laat dink aan Nama dani- = heuning, en die ou-, ook au-, aan Nama au = bitter, die 'Plek (-siep) van bitter (au) heuning (dani-)'. Hierdie verklaring is aan ons voorgehou en is taalkun- dig verdedigbaar. Ons wys egter daarop dat hierdie rivier (die -p as genusteken van die ml. ekv. signaleer ’n rivier) ontspring aan die Rosyntjieberg, ’n berg van dieselfde reeks as die Oemsberg wat ten weste van horn le en self beteken 'Rosyntjiebosberg', vgl. OEMSBERG. 'Rosyntjiesfontein' is eweneens in hierdie buurt geleë. Die (wilde)rosyntjiebos, die Grewia Jlava, heet in Nama ╪oun. Ons meen dat die lid Ou- moontlik daarmee vereenselwigbaar is, en dan is die -danni- wel soos Nama -dana- = kop, die geheel: 'Rosyn- tjieboskop', waarvan die naam oorgegaan het op die rivertjie wat sy oorsprong in die kop het en dan deurvloei noordoos heen tot by sy uitwatering in die Oranjerivier. Die geografiese en botaniese gesteldhede pleit ten gunste van so ’n verklaring.
