The progenitor of the Bassingthwaight family lived there and died there in 1889. He carried a full-standing. The Namas called him because they could not speak his name, and the personnel became farm name. It is well-known and the farm is called by the older farmers hairy jaw and not Uchanary '. Bassingthwawe v 1974 Farmer Conversation 'ǀ 0xaǃ Naris is hairy jaw, ǀ uxa = hairy, ǀ u = her, and initial jaw'. Christian M 1974 Driver Conversation 'ǀ 0xaǃ Naris ... hairy jaw ...

afr Hahn Th 1879 kaart 'ǀUxa-ǃNaris', uitspanning en watertjie op 2618; met dieselfde koördinate op kaarte van Kiepert 1893 'ǀOkha-ǃNaris', van Von Francois 1894 'ǀUkha INaris', en van Sprigade-Moisel 1904 'Uchanaris'. Van Heerde P 1965 Brief 'Oeggaeanabees, dit is, het oom Math Dixon gesê, die plek waar hulle in Suidwes gebly het en dit het beteken: Harige Kakebeenfontein'. Kroenlein-Rust 1969 NW 282 'ǀuxa-ǃnaris (Ukanaris, ‘Harige kakebeen’, Platz zw. Keetmanshoop und Narubis)'. Van Niekerk PJ 1974 Boer Vraelys 'Uchanaris, plaas nr 56, ong. 51 km suid van Keetmanshoop. Beteken ‘Harige kakebeen', ǀǀhuga = hare, ǀnaris = kakebeen. Die stamvader van die Bassingthwaighte-familie het daar gewoon en is in 1889 daar oorlede. Hy het 'n volbaard gedra. Die Namas het horn so genoem omdat hulle sy naam nie kon uitspreek nie, en die per- soonsnaam het plaasnaam geword. Dit is alombekend en die plaas word deur die ouer boere nog genoem Harige Kakebeen en nie Uchanaris nie'. Bassingthwaighte V 1974 Boer Gesprek 'ǀ0xaǃnaris is harige kakebeen, ǀuxa = harige, ǀu = haar, en Inaris = kakebeen'. Christian M 1974 Drywer Gesprek 'ǀ0xaǃnaris...Harige kakebeen...In die ou tyd het hulle daar die koppe van diere soos bees, bokke, skape, skoongemaak, want die hare is altyd vuil aan die kop...'

eng By ǀ U-B = Body Hair, ǀ UXA = Hairy, Plusǃ Nari-B = Kinnebink, so the 'place (-s) of the hairy (ǀ uxa) jaw / kinnebink (INARI)'. Interestingly, the point is to give meaning to the name, eg. of Mr Christian. Surveying SWA game the river with the same name and general location 'Oganary River' (F.S. 1709).

afr By ǀu-b = liggaamshaar, ǀuxa = harig, plus ǃnari-b = kinnebak, dus die 'Plek (-s) van die harige (ǀuxa) kakebeen/kinnebak (Inari-)'. Interessant is die po- ging om sin aan die naam te gee, bv. van mnr Christian. Opmeting-SWA spel die riviertjie met dieselfde naam en algemene ligging 'Oganarisrivier' (F.S. 1709).
