Nomas, Nomaos

The 'Warmbadfluss' is the Hom River flowing through Warmbaths. 'Village' at Veillet means a site or 'kraal'. The Krikriekarte gives the translation of the form nomaos, otherwise Nomas, such as Nama Inoma- = 'Wurzel, Pfahlwurzel' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 298), with the exit Fern. Sing, - What's what the place is a fountain, the 'root fountain'. The -o (s) in the variant form Nomaos is not quite clear, it is certainly not such as ǀ Ao-S = fountain, or eg. = ^ b- = 'narrow' (- ╪o-s = chinks), because no one writes a suction patch in front. This great Namaard lies right north of the Warmbaths on the Hom River almost on the latitude 28 ° but still there above in the block 27 °, on CD. At the top of 27 °, on AB, Chart of Sprigade Misel 1904, another Nomas, source, right west of the Great Karas Mountains, well with the same meaning of 'root'.

Description
eng The 'Warmbadfluss' is the Hom River flowing through Warmbaths. 'Village' at Veillet means a site or 'kraal'. The Krikriekarte gives the translation of the form nomaos, otherwise Nomas, such as Nama Inoma- = 'Wurzel, Pfahlwurzel' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 298), with the exit Fern. Sing, - What's what the place is a fountain, the 'root fountain'. The -o (s) in the variant form Nomaos is not quite clear, it is certainly not such as ǀ Ao-S = fountain, or eg. = ^ b- = 'narrow' (- ╪o-s = chinks), because no one writes a suction patch in front. This great Namaard lies right north of the Warmbaths on the Hom River almost on the latitude 28 ° but still there above in the block 27 °, on CD. At the top of 27 °, on AB, Chart of Sprigade Misel 1904, another Nomas, source, right west of the Great Karas Mountains, well with the same meaning of 'root'.
afr Die 'Warmbadfluss' is die Homrivier wat deur Warmbad vloei. 'Village' by Veillet beteken ’n werf of 'kraal'. Die Kriegskarte gee die vertaling van die vorm Nomaos, anders Nomas, soos Nama Inoma- = 'Wurzel, Pfahlwurzel' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 298), met die uitgang fern. sing, -s wat se dat die plek ’n fontein is, die 'Wortelfontein'. Die -o(s) in die variantvorm Nomaos is nie heeltemal duidelik nie, dit is sekerlik nie soos ǀao-s = fontein nie, of bv. =^b- = 'eng' nie (- ╪o-s = engte), want niemand skryf ’n suigklap vooraan nie. Hierdie groot Namawerf le reg noord van die Warmbad aan die Homrivier byna op die breedtegraad 28° maar nog net daar bokant in die blok 27°, op CD. Aan die bokant van 27°, op AB, kaart van Sprigade-Moisel 1904, le ’n ander Nomas, bron, reg wes van die Groot-Karasberge, wel met dieselfde betekenis van 'Wortel'.
