Kleinschmidt gives two pronunciations, with or without the H. Today, the ordinary form is the Annis with fountain added now. In Kleinschmidt and Knudsen's time, there was a yard at the fountain, located on a river. It is a happy circumstance that Kleinschmidt has given the meaning, linked to Nama ╪an = 'Kennen, recognition, Wisen; ╪ANS = Kennis ... '(Kr.- R. 1969 NW 33).

Kleinschmidt gee twee uitspraakwyses aan, met of sonder die h-. Vandag is die gewone vorm die Annis- met fontein nou toegevoeg. In Kleinschmidt en Knudsen se tyd was daar ’n werf by die fontein, geleë aan ’n riviertjie. Dit is 'n gelukkige omstandigheid dat Kleinschmidt die betekenis aangegee het, te verbind met Nama ╪an = 'kennen, erkennen, wissen; ╪ans = Kenntnis...' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 33). Die ouer uitspraak van ╪an was wel ╪ana- (vgl. Hanna), of anders kan ons dit rekonstrueer as ╪an- plus -he, die passiewe suffiks (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 176), 'geken word'. Die -s lokativeer. Annis het dus beteken die 'Bekende Fontein'. Op dieselfde hoogte in die Richterveld le Annisrivier wat die Oranjerivier noordweswaarts binnevloei, ten noordooste van Alex- anderbaai. Annisrivier het dieselfde betekenis as Annisfontein, dit lyk of die rivier sy naam van die belangrike bron gekry het — as riviertjie sou dit nouliks die 'Bekende' gewees hetǃ
