Namus(Kluft) En Namus(Berge)

The first component is associated with the word Namas, but it is very unlikely because of the second word in Na-Mus: The -mus reminds of mu-s = eye, also fountain eye, and there was a fountain the farm. The farm lies along diamond area No. The first member of the Bisexual Composition Namus Mountains, S716, will have the same statement.

Description
eng The first component is associated with the word Namas, but it is very unlikely because of the second word in Na-Mus: The -mus reminds of mu-s = eye, also fountain eye, and there was a fountain the farm. The farm lies along diamond area No. The first member of the Bisexual Composition Namus Mountains, S716, will have the same statement.
afr Die eerste komponent word in verband gebring met die woord Namas-, maar dit is heel onwaarskynlik vanweë die tweede woorddeel in Na-mus: die -mus laat dink aan mu-s = oog, ook fonteinoog, en daar was juis ’n fontein op die plaas. Die plaas le langs Diamantgebied nr 1. Die eerste lid van die tweeslagtige samestelling Namusberge, S 2716, sal dieselfde verklaring he.
