ǀŌǃgoms
A source located just north of Gochas to the Auob, Dist. Mariental. The translation was stated, such as Nama ǀ O = stink, and igomi = ice (cold), cf. RUST 1960 DNW RESP. 59 and 17, with Fern, - for Bronname, 'Stinkys'. There must have been something special that 'stinks' the ice; The reasoning of the naming was not kept for us.

’n Bron geleë net noord van Gochas aan die Auob, dist. Mariental. Die vertaling is aangegee, soos Nama ǀo = stink, en Igomi = ys(koud), vgl. Rust 1960 DNW resp. 59 en 17, met fern, -s vir bronname, 'Stinkys'. Daar moes wel iets besonders gewees het wat die ys laat 'stink' het; die aanleiding van die naamgewing is nie vir ons bewaar nie.
