Numees, Numees(Berg)
Spelling Numes are retained for location (worked mine) and mountain, located in Section. Alexander Bay, inside the last large elbow of the Orange River. Here is the usual change of N and H (5 d 6) if the derivation is as in surveying, otherwise ╪nu = black (of heed), which the -m-, however, leaves the -m, alternatively (also proposal proposal of Krenz FK 1974 Farmer note) such as Nama ╪noms = (fire) cabbage (Rust 1960 DNW 36) that can join the 'black'. The -S locates a fountain, 'Koolongontein', 'Brandkolfontein', and there The name of the mine place also passed on the mountain, but it is still all tentative.

Spelling Numees is behou vir plek (uitgewerkte myn) en berg, geleë in afd. Alexanderbaai, binnekant die laaste groot elmboog van die Oranjerivier. Hier is die gewone wisseling van n- en h- (5 D 6) indien die afleiding is soos by Opmeting, anders soos ╪nu = swart (Van Heerde), wat die -m- egter 'onverklaar' laat, alternatiewelik (ook voorstel van Krenz FK 1974 Boer Aantekening) soos Nama ╪noms = (vuur)kool (Rust 1960 DNW 36) wat by die 'swart' kan aansluit. Die -s lokativeer 'n fontein, 'Koolfontein', 'Brandkolfontein', en daarvandaan het die naam van die mynplek ook op die berg oorgegaan, maar dit is nog alles heel tentatief.
