geleë aan die trekpad suid van die Karasberge op gegewe graadvierkant. Kiepert se opgawe maak dit seker dat hy die naam verklaar as 'Brak-' of 'Bitterfontein', by Nama ǀu = brak, hier vir die smaak van die fonteinwater, omdat die -s gewoonlik ’n fonteinnaam lokativeer, ook hier, na ons vermoed. As aanhangsel: die Kriegskarte 1904 noem nog ’n 'Us' op S 2818, maar dan kry ons geen hulp oor die schnalz nie.
