Geis
The -s locates a source, as originally here too. Earlier it was a tension and a node of roads (Kriegskarte) at the Bolope of the Homm River, northern Karasburg and south of the Karas Mountains. Now carry farm No 67 Dist. Karasburg Another name, spelled geiss. Messrs Steenkamp and Christian know the farm. They were not aware of the sucking consonant as at Hahn E.A. not. That it matches, make their statements well accepted in this respect. This means, as we understand it, originally, the 'fountain at the damming', according to the one, and 'Pofader (fountain)' according to Mr Steenkamp, the owner, the statement .i. the preference earned. From other place names we know that puffers have occurred there many.

Die -s lokativeer ’n bron, soos oorspronklik ook hier. vroeër was dit ’n uitspanning en ’n knooppunt van paaie (Kriegskarte) aan die boloop van die Homrivier, noordelik van Karasburg geleë en suidelik van die Karasberge. Nou dra plaas nr 67 dist. Karasburg nog die naam, gespel Geis. Mnre Steenkamp en Christian ken die plaas. Hulle was nie bewus van die suigkonsonant soos by Hahn e.a. nie. Dat dit ooreenstem, maak hulle verklarings in die opsig goed aanneemlik. Dit beteken dan, soos ons dit verstaan, oorspronklik, die 'Fontein by die opdamming', volgens die een, en 'Pofad- der(fontein)' volgens mnr Steenkamp, die eienaar, die verklaring wat o.i. die voorkeur verdien. Uit ander plekname daar weet ons dat pofadders daar baie voorgekom het.
