Op die moderne kaarte vind ons die naam Damakhoes alleen nog terug vir die naam van ’n rivier. Deur die plaas Nagas nr 55, suidoos van Keetmanshoop, loop die Nagasrivier wat weer saamvloei in die Damakoesrivier, lg. loop deur die laer gebied noord van Nagas. Die twee riviere word uitein- delik ontvang deur die 'lowenrivier' (spelling daarvan soos in die SWA- reeks). Die betekenis soos by mnr Arndt en sy span, 'Damarawoonplek', 'Dama-syne', anders soos by J Boois 1979 Taalassistent Aantekening, 'Damavroumens'. Vgl. ook DAMAKOES(RIVIER) in TH A* 304.
