Description
eng The Ubiam River apparently rises on the farm 'Fleeveeld' No. 33 B and then flows in southeastern direction over 'ubiams', farm No. 32. In addition to the topographical relationship between ubiams, ubiam river and floating, there may also be a linguistic relationship. ' 'Is in Nama Ikhuwi (Rust 1960 DNW 70) which is defaced and changing -B and -W- (cf. th a * 43 by 5 b 1) with the member Ubi of the name ubiam (s) - can agree. The second member of the name, -am (s) is like Nama Am- = mouth, water opening (Rest 43), the lock -s is the locative morpheme Fern. Sing, which specifically sources etc. can indicate .

afr Die Ubiamrivier ontspring blykbaar op die plaas 'Fleyfeld' nr 33 B en vloei dan in suidoostelike rigting oor 'Ubiams', plaas nr 32. Benewens die topografiese verband tussen Ubiams, Ubiamrivier en Fleyfeld, is daar moontlik ook ’n taalkundige verband. 'Vlei' is in Nama Ikhuwi- (Rust 1960 DNW 70) wat gedevelariseerd en met wisseling van -b- en -w- (vgl. TH A* 43 by 5 B 1) met die lid Ubi- van die naam Ubiam(s)- kan ooreen- stem. Die tweede lid van die naam, -am(s), is soos Nama am- = mond, wateropening (Rust 43), die slot -s is die lokatiefmorfeem fern. sing, wat spesifiek bronne ens. kan aandui. Fleyfeld is dan in sy eerste lid vertaal uit die Khoekhoense naam Ubi- (ams), ’n verskynsel wat horn by naampare meermale geopenbaar het.
