Ameis
It is stated by claim [AIS] = 'Gess, Oberfläche ...', which is an ingredient of some place names. It is not clearly said whether Ameis is a parent (and exchange name) of Grünau, m.a.w. or grünau is a translation. We have no further information from other sources. There are the farms No. 16, 17, 18 and 19 (distinguished regional indications) and a station named Grünau, Dist. Karasburg. Ameis is analyzed asǃ Am = green, and -e- = face, in transfer area, plain, view, in German grünau.

Dit word aangegee by eis [ais] = 'Gesicht, Oberfläche...', wat 'n bestanddeel van sommige plekname is. Dit word nie duidelik gesê of Ameis 'n ouer (en wisselnaam) van Grünau is nie, m.a.w. of Grünau 'n vertaling is nie. Ons het uit ander bronne geen nadere inligting hieroor nie. Daar is die plase nr 16, 17, 18 en 19 (met streekaanduidings onderskei) en ’n stasie met die naam Grünau, dist. Karasburg. Ameis is te ontleed as ǃam = groen, en -ei- = gesig, in oordrag oppervlakte, vlakte, uitsig, in Duits Grünau.
