eng Habe H 1900 QUELEN 14 142 'GOLIATH HATTES ... IGAOSIS VERKUUFT'. Budack 1965 Study 221 'Igaose, 'cut spot',ǃ Gao = to cut ... ('Cycon- tein', settlement in Berseba reserve)'. Pastor D Goliath 1969 Letter [from Nama by pastor albath and abbreviated by us] 'If men go on travel and come to the end of the road, then they tell each other: We cut the road, Namaǃ Gao means to cut. Then they sit and drink and drink water. So the old people came to many wandering at this place with sufficient water and called it igaoses, cutfontein, because it was the end of the hiking road, it's now the rest. One day they decided to hunt at the Great Trouskarosberg and got a strong perennial fountain. Then they went there and made them home and called it outsawises '.

afr Hegner H 1900 Quellen 14 142 'Goliath hatte ... IGaosis verkauft'. Budack 1965 Studie 221 'IGaoses, ‘Snyplek’, ǃgao = om te sny... (‘Snyfon- tein’, nedersetting in Berseba-reservaat)'. Pastor D Goliath 1969 Brief [uit Nama deur Pastor Albath vertaal en deur ons verkort] 'As mans op reis gaan en aan die einde van die pad kom, dan se hulle vir mekaar: Ons het die pad gesny, Nama ǃgao beteken om te sny. Dan sit en rus hulle en drink water. So het die ou mense na baie rondtrek- kery by hierdie plek gekom met voldoende water en dit IGaoses genoem, Snyfontein, want dit was die einde van die wandelpad, dit is nou die rusplek. Op ’n dag het hulle besluit om by die groot Broekkarosberg te gaan jag en het daar ’n sterk standhoudende fontein gekry. Toe het hulle daarheen getrek en daar hulle tuiste gemaak en dit Outsawises genoem'.
