Description
eng ' Pants' are Afrikaans, in a certain sense, viz. By Adoption, 'Karos' Also, yet it is of origin Khoekhens and therefore the name is called. Karos carried by the old natives as a garment (there is more than one kind, all of animal skin), is being completed from the Foundation Kho-B, in Nama 'Skin'; With the diminutiefformen -ro-means Karos therefore 'skin'. Cfg. Furthermore, what. The name is a variety of 'Igubeb' with 'Geissi' in front, see Geitsigubeb. There are some variations of the spelling of the place name, above mentioned three; In German time, it was especially Brukkaros, and in APN 1951 69, it was the recognized spell for the station on the Keetmanshoop and Windhoek route, but today, also on maps, dominate the Afrikaans game form.

afr ’’Broek' is Afrikaans, in ’n seker sin, nl. deur adopsie, 'karos' ook reeds, tog is dit van herkoms Khoekhoens en daarom word die naam genoem. Karos wat deur die ou inboorlinge as ’n kledingstuk gedra is (daar is meer as een soort, almal van diervel), word afgelêi van die grondwoord kho-b, in Nama 'vel'; met die diminutiefformans -ro- beteken karos dus 'velletjie'. Vgl. verder WAT. Die naam is ’n verafrikaansing van ' Igubeb' met 'geitsi' vooraan, kyk GEITSIGUBEB. Daar is ’n paar variasies van die spelling van die pleknaam, hierbo is drie genoem; in die Duitse tyd was dit veral Brukkaros, en in APN 1951 69 is dit die erkende spelling vir die stasie op die roete Keetmanshoop en Windhoek, maar vandag, ook op landkaarte, oorheers die Afrikaanse spelvorm. Vgl. Vedder by HARUCHAROS. 'n Uitstekende beskrywing van die 'women’s petticoats, or...broek karosse' uit vel is te lees in Alexander JE 1936 EDIA I 96 e.v.
