ǁGuru-ams
This site name does not often encounter; It lies in the neighborhood of Beerseba but we can't just situate it. The meaning is clear from the writing, such as Nama ǀǀ Guru- = flint, and -am-s = mouth, water location, a source. 'Quartz source' will be the wide translation.

Hierdie werfnaam nie dikwels teengekom nie; dit le in die buurt van Berseba maar ons kan dit nie presies situeer nie. Die betekenis is uit die skryfwyse duidelik, soos Nama ǀǀguru- = vuursteen, en -am-s = mond, waterplek, 'n bron dus. 'Kwartsbron' sal die bree vertaling wees.
