ǀŪǁgami
In this 'anthology of quotes', enough to make the localization possible, where necessary, we wanted to showcase a simple name, in English reports usually O'Jogami, and further to bring out the statement. From the above it seems sufficient, that is, viz. 'Brackish water', (Nama ǀ U), at all, except that small-haired thought to Nama Au = bitter thought. The source lies at the eponymous and meaning river on S 2615 DC, spelled by survey-SWA 'Ukama', hence our choice for the lemma. For the heavy sandpad cf. the nearby Caucausib.

In hierdie 'bloemlesing van aanhalings', telkens genoeg om, waar nodig, die lokalisasie moontlik te maak, wou ons spelvorme van ’n eenvoudige naam laat blyk, in Engelse verslae gewoonlik O’ogami, en verder om die verklaring uit te bring. Uit bostaande blyk dit voldoende, dit is nl. 'Brakwater', (Nama ǀu), by almal, behalwe dat Kleinschmidt aan Nama au = bitter gedink het. Die bron le by die gelyknamige en -betekenende riviertjie op S 2615 DC, deur Opmeting-SWA gespel 'Ukama', vandaar ons keuse vir die lemma. Vir die swaar sandpad vgl. die nabygeleë KAUKAUSIB.
