Albei stem saam oor die eerste lid, dit is soos Nama gei [kai] = groot, en die tweede lid volgens mnr Burger is soos ǀǀgoab = knie, volgens mnr Engelbrecht soos Nama ǀgoro- = skurfte of ǀkhora = ru, grof, daarby ook nog soos ǃkho-b = kalkklip. Veel wil taalkundig nog nie met Engelbrecht se gegewens klop nie. Plaas ten noorde van Rietfontein, dist. Gordonia, 4298/1915, ook gespel 'Kijkwas'.
