Hierdie antwoord is verkry op die vraag of daar in die omgewing van liideritz-Aus plekke is wat vroeër Khoekhoense name gehad het. Rooiberg is so 'n gevfil. Dit is plaas nr 70 in die Huib-Hochplateau. Rooi is in Nama ǀawa, en ǃhom-gu is die mv. van Ihommi = berg, sodat Awahomgu eintlik te vertaal is met 'Rooiberge'. Rooipunt nr 157 is 'n ander plaas oostelik van ons Rooiberg, onderkant Rooipunt le Blauputs 158, en suide lik van Rooiberg Swartpunt 74, en onderkant hom die kompleks plase Wit- puts, sodat kleur hier ’n onderskeidende benoemingsfaktor geword het. Die vraag is of al hierdie name nie vroeër ’n Khoekhoense teenstuk gehad het wat oorvertaal is nie
