Gū-āxaseǃgaos
So: GU- = Sheep, + -Xa-SE = Black, +ǃ Gao-S = 'FlusSmundung' (Rust Aid.) The name has disappeared and the 'sheep river mouth' is currently known as Seeheim. For another statement of The first member looks Goachasegaos. Our preference goes out for the statement as at Pastor Rust, also because it directly connects to GU = sheep related to the inland name for the Sheep River.

Description

So: GU- = Sheep, + -Xa-SE = Black, +ǃ Gao-S = 'FlusSmundung' (Rust Aid.) The name has disappeared and the 'sheep river mouth' is currently known as Seeheim. For another statement of The first member looks Goachasegaos. Our preference goes out for the statement as at Pastor Rust, also because it directly connects to GU = sheep related to the inland name for the Sheep River.

Dus: gu- = skaap, + -xa-se = blerende, + ǃgao-s = 'Flussmundung' (Rust aid.) Die naam het verdwyn en die 'Skaapriviermond' is tans bekend as Seeheim. Vir ’n ander verklaring van die eerste lid kyk GOACHASEGAOS. Ons voorkeur gaan uit vir die verklaring soos by pastor Rust, ook omdat dit direk aansluit by Gu = skaap wat verband hou met die inlandse naam vir die Skaaprivier.
