ǂGoaǂami
Over the location and the usability the necessary at Schultze said, but Schultze's statement ('clay floor top spot') is certainly cumbersome compared to the Van Krenz joining Nama ǀǀ ho = 'Giessen, Schiitten' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 187), and Am- = mouth. At ǀǀ Ho and the GO of the place name Allophone the H and the G-, but it is also in place names, cf. 5 c 4. Linguistically, Krenz's proposal is in order, and in terms of statement, it also satisfies us better than that of Schultime. But Schultze recorded the name exactly as he heard it from the Namas himself, with other suction congons than at Krenz, and from the mouth of people who stayed there. They should be the most reliable witnesses.

Oor die ligging en die gebruiksomstandigheid die nodige by Schultze gesê, maar Schultze se verklaring ('Kleivloer-bokant-plek') is bepaald omslagtig vergeleke by die van Krenz wat aansluit by Nama ǀǀho = 'giessen, schiitten' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 187), en am- = mond. By ǀǀho en die Go- van die pleknaam allofoneer die h- en die g-, maar dit is ook in plekname gewoon, vgl. 5 C 4. Taalkundig is Krenz se voorstel in orde, en wat verklaring betref, bevredig dit ons ook beter as die van Schultze. Maar Schultze het die naam presies opgeteken soos hy dit van die Namas self gehoor het, met ander suigkon- sonante as by Krenz, en uit die mond van mense wat daar gebly het. Hulle behoort die betroubaarste getuies te wees.
