Goamus
Located purely east of Gibeon, just at the foot of the White Rand, it was a well-known for travelers of old; The Rhine mission had an outpost there. The name is still carried by a farm, Goamus No. 70, and Goamus-ost 69. Zbu VK 44 1919 Refer to a place Schuous eye that has been changed to Klippfontein A, Spreadbox Specific, specifically as the alternative name by 1904 But it seems the translation became disused. Weber farm, indeed wrong, on the o of Goa- a hood. Goa is in Nama 'to foam', and Mus = eye, at mu = see. Cfg. Still, with interconnection, Gaumus. The name is N.A.A. the bubbling resource water.

geleë suiwer oos van Gibeon, net aan die voet van die Witrand, was dit vir reisigers van ouds ’n bekende uitspanning; die Rynse sending het daar ’n buitepos gehad. Die naam word nog gedra deur ’n plaas, Goamus nr 70, en Goamus-Ost 69. ZBu V K 44 1919 verwys na ’n plek Schuimoog wat verander is tot Klippfontein A, Sprigade-Moisel gee Schuimoog spesifiek op as die alternatiewe naam teen 1904, maar dit lyk of die vertaling in onbruik geraak het. Weber plaas, wel ten onregte, op die o van Goa- ’n kappie. Goa is in Nama 'om te skuim', en mus = oog, by mu = sien. Vgl. nog, met wisselspel- ling, GAUMUS. Die naam is n.a.v. die opborrelende bronwater.
