ǃHu-ams
We have already discussed this Huams in th a ** 578 and declare as Grand or Sandmond and also topographically motivated. Now two facts come. On the cited card here appears that the alternative name was Sandmund, a translation in German (or diluted Afrikaans) of the old Khoekhoense name in friendly co-existence. The second fact is: Huams still the name of Farm No 271, border on his west side to Farm No. 270, registered as 'Sandmund' and as such written on maps, eg. On SWA series 1974 sheet 2718 GRIINU. On Sandmund, a sprout also called 'Sandmond' site. A connection between Huams and Sandmund as names of the taxing farms is not to deny. We believe 'Sandmund' must be regarded as the direct translation of the old Khoekhoense name.

Ons het hierdie Huams reeds bespreek in TH A** 578 en verklaar as Grand- of Sandmond en daar ook topografies gemotiveer. Nou kom twee feite by. Op die aangehaalde kaart hier blyk dat die alternatiewe naam Sandmund was, ’n vertaling in Duits (of verduitste Afrikaans) van die ou Khoekhoense naam in vriendskaplike naasbestaan. Die tweede feit is dit: Huams wat vandag nog die naam is van plaas nr 271, grens aan sy weste- like kant aan plaas nr 270, geregistreer as 'Sandmund' en as sodanig inge- skryf op kaarte, bv. op SWA-reeks 1974 vel 2718 Griinau. Op Sandmund le aan ’n spruit ook ’n werf genoem 'Sandmond'. ’n Verband tussen Huams en Sandmund as name van die belendende plase is nie te ontken nie. Ons meen 'Sandmund' moet beskou word as die regstreekse vertaling van die ou Khoekhoense naam.
