geleë ten ooste van Bethanien (sien kaart van Alexander). Die G- vir die suigimplosief, gnu soos Nama ╪nu = swart. Met die wisseling t- en g- ook in ander plekname by Alexander (vgl. bv. sy GNUTUEIP en NUGUIB) is sy -tuas gelyk te stel met Nama ╪g°a-s = 'Schlamm' (Rust 1960 DNW 53). Die ou naam is verdring deur Keetmanshoop. Kyk verder die bespreking by NUGOAES
