Guigatsis

It's about Farm No. 58, Dist. Keetmanshoop, southeast of the town, located on an eponymous river entering the south in the Lowen River. If we understand Mr Christian law, he says the ground word is like Nama Guang- = Melkbos, an Euphorbia sp., Which is very common, as evidenced by Nama -Xa, in the name -ga, for 'many'. The -tsi is the adjective form, with the -s-mend of a source or open water, as the starting point of the broader application.

afr Dit gaan hier oor plaas nr 58, dist. Keetmanshoop, suidoos van die dorp, geleë aan 'n gelyknamige riviertjie wat van die suide af in die lowenrivier inloop. As ons mnr Christian reg verstaan, se hy die grondwoord is soos Nama gui- = melkbos, ’n Euphorbia sp., wat daar baie voorkom, soos blyk uit Nama -xa-, in die naam -ga-, vir 'baie'. Die -tsi- is die adjektief-formans, met die -s benoe- mend van ’n bron of oop water, as beginpunt van die ruimer toepassing.
