Asaaos
Faller cited among Hoaos. It is close to the main farm or anniversary station. The people were driven by the drought to Nuplefontein and to Khaims. Hoaos and Asaaos are one and the same fountain that has been unavenged. It does not exist more than place or farm name in these forms. Like Nama ǀ Asa = New, and ǀ Ao-, ǀ ou- [ǀ au] = fountain, thus Nuifontein. Neubrunn (Karibib) and Nieuwefontein (Karasburg) are elsewhere.

Vollediger aangehaal onder HOAOS alwaar. Dit le naby die hoofplaas of sen- dingstasie Bethanien. Die mense is deur die droogte na Nuwefontein gedryf en na Khaims. Hoaos en Asaaos is een en dieselfde fontein wat oopgegrawe is. Dit bestaan nie meer as plek- of plaasnaam in hierdie vorms nie. Soos Nama ǀasa = nuut, en ǀao-, ǀou- [ǀau] = fontein, dus Nuwefontein. Neubrunn (Karibib) en Nieuwefontein (Karasburg) le elders.
