Description
eng Veillet's 'Village' means a site, namely with the source that also served as a result (Hahn). The former (2717) was located in the Dist. Bethanien, LG. (2719) in Karasburg, but they both apparently got into disuse. Nama ^ Nu = black, ǀǀ gami = water, and location indication especially in sources, thus 'black water', as indicated on the cricke.
afr Veillet se 'village' beteken ’n werf, naamlik by die bron wat ook as uitspan- ning diens gedoen het (Hahn). Eersgenoemde (2717) was geleë in die dist. Bethanien, lg. (2719) in Karasburg, maar hulle het albei blykbaar in onbruik geraak. Nama ^nu = swart, ǀǀgami = water, en -s plekduiding veral by bronne, dus 'Swartwater', soos op die Kriegskarte aangegee.
