Arus
This farm number 72, southwest of Aroab, in the Keetmans District, we discussed in th a * 222 n.a.v. The announcement of the farm owner who gave up the meaning as 'fountain' (such as Nama ǀ auros), but we expressed doubts and asked if it didn't just mean the 'Albiziafontein'. It is now declared by our peoples here. Support for the statement we still find that the adjacent farm Dickbusch No. 71 is pointing on forest or tree richness. The Aru- is an Albizia Sp. (At Ponnighaus 1931 Journal 6 28-29 The Albiz- Zia Anthelminthica, his spelling).

Hierdie plaas nommer 72, suidwes van Aroab, in die distrik Keetmans- hoop, het ons bespreek in TH A* 222 n.a.v. die mededeling van die plaas- eienaar wat die betekenis opgegee het as 'Fonteintjie' (soos Nama ǀAuros), maar ons het twyfel uitgespreek en gevra of dit nie gewoonweg net beteken die 'Albiziafontein' nie. Dit word nou deur ons segsliede hier ook so verklaar. Steun vir die verklaring vind ons nog daarin dat die aan- grensende plaas Dickbusch nr 71 is wat op bos- of boomrykheid heenwys. Die aru- is 'n Albizia sp. (by Ponnighaus 1931 Joernaal 6 28-29 die Albiz- zia anthelminthica, sy spelling).
