On the question of whether there are old Khoekhounitary names that are only known in their language (ie in Afrikaans or German form today, this case is also called. Cf. Rust 1960 DNW 27 ╪Khanu = 'Glatt'. Apparently the starting point was The water place, later the dam, with the exit (fern, sing.) For this, and then the name went on the mountain / head.

Op die vraag of daar ou Khoekhoense name is wat vandag net in hulle ver- taalde (d.w.s. in Afrikaanse of Duitse vorm bekend is, is ook hierdie geval genoem. Vgl. Rust 1960 DNW 27 ╪khanu = 'glatt'. Blykbaar was die beginpunt die waterplek, later die dam, met die uitgang -s (fern, sing.) hiervoor, en toe het die naam op die berg/kop oorgegaan. Nie te verwar met KANUS 2718 nie, vgl. TH A** 642-643.
