Sâǂnais

Then like Nama Sana- = 'Das Muttermal' (Kr.-r. 1969 NW 340), and perhaps further -Xa- = abundant, rich in, with suffix that is co-locating. The toponimic connection is still obscure for us, unless it shows a natural phenomenon that has given the distinctive name to a fountain on farm No. Nam.q. 3-11, located east of Komaggas at the top of the Buffalo River, and to the tributary of the Buffels River Komaggas called Sannagas River (topographical series 1974 sheet 2916 Springbok).

Description
eng Then like Nama Sana- = 'Das Muttermal' (Kr.-r. 1969 NW 340), and perhaps further -Xa- = abundant, rich in, with suffix that is co-locating. The toponimic connection is still obscure for us, unless it shows a natural phenomenon that has given the distinctive name to a fountain on farm No. Nam.q. 3-11, located east of Komaggas at the top of the Buffalo River, and to the tributary of the Buffels River Komaggas called Sannagas River (topographical series 1974 sheet 2916 Springbok).
afr Dan soos Nama sana- = 'das Muttermal' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 340), en miskien verder -xa- = oorvloedig, ryk aan, met suffiks wat mede lokativerend is. Die toponimiese verband is vir ons nog duister, tensy dit op 'n natuurverskynsel wys wat die onderskeidende naam gegee het aan 'n fontein op plaas nr Nam.Q. 3-11, geleë oos van Komaggas aan die bolope van die Buffelsrivier, en aan die sytak van die Buffelsrivier Komaggas genaamd Sannagasrivier (Topografiese reeks 1974 vel 2916 Springbok).
