Dit gaan moeilik om hieruit wegwys te word. Ons het die inskrywing van Hahn (as vroegste, en in sy persoon as die beste Namakenner) gekies vir lem- mahoof. Volgens horn sal dit beteken 'Grootasrivier', moontlik van die asbosse, anders 'Grootstofrivier' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 379 tsao- = as), dus in betekenis anders as vir die bron GEITSAUB aan sy boloop, maar volgens Kiepert is die rivier- en bronnaam eenders, hier dan 'Blinderivier'. Veillet se kaart spel dit weer -tsoab, ongeveer die 'Grootagterste-, Grootgatrivier' (Kr.-R. 384). Volgens Veillet loop die rivier ten ooste van die grens oor in Mooirivier wat horn ontlas en doodloop in Hakscheenpan. In SWA le die rivier, ooswaarts stromend, in die dist. Keetmanshoop, suidelik van Aroab en Rietfontein, ’n panryke gebied.
