Ter sprake is plaas nr 31, dist. Bethanien, tussen Aus en Helmeringhausen, aan die hoofweg, en van ’n rivier. Die eerste lid is soos Nama ǀǀgam- = water, die -cha- is soos Nama -xa- = welvoorsien van, ryk aan, deur Kroenlein ver- taal met 'Waterryk'. Ons beskou dit as die juiste afleiding, lees Kroenlein nog ’n keerǃ Die verbindende lid -o- is deur dr Vedder en mev Schnebel egter begryp as -6- = -loos, sonder, dus met 'Waterloos' kom hulle presies by die teenoorgestelde kant uit, begryplik maar nogtans verkeerdelik. Die verbindende -o- (hier, na ǀǀgam-) het vir ons ’n grammatiese les. Opmeting-SWA spel die naam van plaas nr 31 en rivier as 'Chamochas(rivier)'.
