afr Moritz W 1978 Pastor Brief 'Kleinfontein = ╪ khari ǀaus'.

eng If alternative name at Kleinfontein appears at Spigrade Misel 1904 Kriegsharte, and in brackets, Auses 2516. The Basy Word of Auses is ǀ Au-S = Fountain, the same ground word in the member - ǀ Au-S van ╪khari ǀ Aus, at = 1 = khari = small. Kleinfontein is therefore the literal translation of the old namanaam, member for member. The name is contrary to 'Grootfontein' that was a very important settlement at the fountain in the old days. Today, Grootfontein is the name of Farm No. 91, and Kleinfontein is the name of Farm No 81, with Kleinfontein-Nord for No 82 , both farms located south of Grootfontein, and both the fountains, large and small, located at the Haseweb River (cf. SWA Series 1971 Skin 2516 Gibeon). The fountain farms here are listed at the main road from Helme- Ringhausen to Maltahöhe walking.

afr As alternatiewe naam by Kleinfontein verskyn by Sprigade-Moisel 1904 Kriegskarte, en tussen hakies, AUSES 2516 alwaar. Die grondwoord van Auses is ǀau-s = fontein, dieselfde grondwoord wat in die lid -ǀau-s van ╪Khariǀaus voorkom, by =1= khari = klein. Kleinfontein is dus die letterlike vertaling van die ou Namanaam, lid vir lid. Die naam is in teenstelling met 'Grootfontein' wat in die ou dae 'n heel belangrike nedersetting by die fontein was. Vandag is Grootfontein die naam van plaas nr 91, en Kleinfontein die naam van plaas nr 81, met Kleinfontein-Nord vir nr 82, albei die plase geleë suid van Grootfontein, en albei die -fonteine, Groot- en- Klein-, geleë aan die Hasewebrivier (vgl. SWA-reeks 1971 vel 2516 Gibeon). Die fonteinplase hier genoem le aan die hoofpad wat van Helme- ringhausen na Maltahöhe loop.
