Plaas nr 57, en poskantoor daarop, suidoos van Keetmanshoop, aan die teer- pad, op lyste en kaart van die landmeter-generaal 1972 ook gespel Narubis. Die element -be- (-bi-) wil se dat dit 'n pleknaam is, die -s lokativeer veelal 'n fontein, moontlik ook hier, as beginpunt. Nama Inaru- is volgens Kroenlein 1889, Rust 1960, afsonderlik, en ook gesamentlik in 1969, 'der Schwarzebenholzbaum', die Euclea pseudebenus, dieselfde as die tsawib. Dan is die goeie verklaring die 'Plek waar die swartebbehoutbome staan'. INarub kan ook enige boomstomp wees, vgl. Kr.-R. aldaar. Dr Vedder het laasgenoemde gekies, maar sowel Kroenlein as Rust (met vaste standplase resp. op Berseba en Keetmanshoop) ken die omgewing goed en is wel ons beste gidse.
