afr geleë ten noorde van Bethanien, volgens sy kaart ongeveer in die buurt van die huidige Chamis. Miskien soos Nama ǃnani- 'Gebirgsrand' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 280), of berghang, met die -s as ’n iokatief, hoewel dit nie presies ’n 'corner' weergee nie, maar ’n mate van misverstand by Alexander is denkbaar wat die Namawoord in Engels vertaal uit die Afrikaans van sy tolk Choubib.
