afr Buitepos is plaas nommer 290, distrik Mariental. Dit le aan die oostelike grens van Suidwes, aan die Nossob ongeveer waar hy Suidwes verlaat. Dit is 'n duinegebied. Buitepos is nie 'n vertaling van ǀǀKaeros nie. Die element -ro- is 'n diminutiewe morfeem ('klein'), hier by 11khae- = sand, dus bodembeskrywend. Die uitgang -s (fern, sing.) wek die vermoede dat die beginpunt van die ou naam 'n fontein was, moontlik aan die Nossob.
