Auros

There are still different places named Auros, we treat a few here, for the convenience. They probably mean everyone 'fountain'. The source on S 2418 AC is just west of Stampriet in the artesian area, and the pan and source in square S 2716 also makes it very likely that they are related to Nama ǀ Ou, ǀ au-, = source. Ouros at 2618 CA is the current farm Aurus No. 149, but Kreenley is usually playing it in its reports ǀ Ouros, also in its Wortschatz 1889 36 'ǀ Ouros (Quellchen)'.

Description
eng There are still different places named Auros, we treat a few here, for the convenience. They probably mean everyone 'fountain'. The source on S 2418 AC is just west of Stampriet in the artesian area, and the pan and source in square S 2716 also makes it very likely that they are related to Nama ǀ Ou, ǀ au-, = source. Ouros at 2618 CA is the current farm Aurus No. 149, but Kreenley is usually playing it in its reports ǀ Ouros, also in its Wortschatz 1889 36 'ǀ Ouros (Quellchen)'.
afr Daar is nog verskillende plekke met die naam Auros, ons behandel enkeles hier saam, vir die gerief. Hulle beteken waarskynlik almal 'Fonteintjie'. Die bron op S 2418 AC le net wes van Stampriet in die artesiese gebied, en die pan en bron in vierkant S 2716 maak dit ook baie waarskynlik dat hulle in verband staan met Nama ǀou-, ǀau-, = bron. Ouros op 2618 CA is die huidige plaas Aurus nr 149, maar Kroenlein spel dit in sy Verslae gewoonlik ǀOuros, ook in sy Wortschatz 1889 36 'ǀOuros (Quellchen)'.
