afr Hier is wel sprake van die doodloopriviertjie wat op dieselfde wyse versand as bv. die noorderliggende TSONDAB. Dit is ten weste van Maltahöhe geleë, effens noordeliker. Die verbintenis van die as is met die as- of loogbos, gewoonlik die Salsola aphylla (vgl. Smith 1966 CNSAP 65). Die -b dui hier aan dat dit 'n riviernaam is. 'Die rivier (-b) waar daar baie (-xa-) asbosse (tsao-) staan'.
