Ausis

The name of this source occurs repeatedly in travel reports. Kleinschmidt declares it directly, and in connection, write different missionaries (O.A.) with the Palatal Schnalz, as Nama ╪ouse [╪ause] = 'Sacht, Leise, Suddle; Stethig, Zahm '(Kr.-r. 1969 NW 333), with Fern, genus -s for source names as location. In Afrikaans thus 'Makfontein'. Apparently the translated name was already relatively ordinary, but the old name remained. The source name Ausis has become farm name, viz. For Farm No. 47, Dist. Bethanien, on S 2616 BB, adjacent to Zuurberg No. 48, and Le northwest of Bethanien.

Description
eng The name of this source occurs repeatedly in travel reports. Kleinschmidt declares it directly, and in connection, write different missionaries (O.A.) with the Palatal Schnalz, as Nama ╪ouse [╪ause] = 'Sacht, Leise, Suddle; Stethig, Zahm '(Kr.-r. 1969 NW 333), with Fern, genus -s for source names as location. In Afrikaans thus 'Makfontein'. Apparently the translated name was already relatively ordinary, but the old name remained. The source name Ausis has become farm name, viz. For Farm No. 47, Dist. Bethanien, on S 2616 BB, adjacent to Zuurberg No. 48, and Le northwest of Bethanien.
afr Die naam van hierdie bron kom herhaaldelik in reisberigte voor. Kleinschmidt verklaar dit direk, en in aansluiting skryf verskillende sendelinge (o.a.) dit met die palatale schnalz, te begryp soos Nama ╪ouse [╪ause] = 'sacht, leise, langsam; stetig, zahm' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 333), met fern, genus -s vir bronname as lokatief. In Afrikaans dus 'Makfontein'. Blykbaar was die vertaalde naam reeds betreklik gewoon, maar die ou naam het bewaar gebly. Die bronnaam Ausis het plaasnaam geword, nl. vir plaas nr 47, dist. Bethanien, op S 2616 BB, grensend aan Zuurberg nr 48, en le noordwes van Bethanien.
