Heitzwasies (Wes, -Oos)

The two farms are apparently according to their form (East Omarm West) the result of subdivision of a unit.

The meaning is as Nama ǀ HEI- [ǀ hai] = 'Fahl' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 177), and Tsawi- = 'Der Schwarzebenholzbaum' (Kr.-R. 381), M.A.W. The 'fountain / water spot (indicated by the fern, sing.) At the Vaal (ǀ Hai) Swarttebbenhoutboom / Trees (Tsawi)'. Translate the TsaBie or Tsawwie tree (Euclea Pseudebenus, the species name as 'false ebony') is called in Nama because the leaves at one she look like 'as', in Nama Tsao- = 'The Asche' (Kr.- R. 379). The concept is actually double expressed with the prefix of ǀ hai = dull or, in this regard, ascolorous. The form-racks are o.i. A contraction from -tsawi- tions, d.w.s.

Description
eng The two farms are apparently according to their form (East Omarm West) the result of subdivision of a unit. They are in the northern direction of Maltahöhe, and only fall into the Rehoboth region, d.w.s. They are border farms from the southern Rehoboth area. The names only occur later on the cards. The meaning is as Nama ǀ HEI- [ǀ hai] = 'Fahl' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 177), and Tsawi- = 'Der Schwarzebenholzbaum' (Kr.-R. 381), M.A.W. The 'fountain / water spot (indicated by the fern, sing.) At the Vaal (ǀ Hai) Swarttebbenhoutboom / Trees (Tsawi)'. Translate the TsaBie or Tsawwie tree (Euclea Pseudebenus, the species name as 'false ebony') is called in Nama because the leaves at one she look like 'as', in Nama Tsao- = 'The Asche' (Kr.- R. 379). The concept is actually double expressed with the prefix of ǀ hai = dull or, in this regard, ascolorous. The form-racks are o.i. A contraction from -tsawi- tions, d.w.s. Out -sawe + locative morphem SI- plus the Fern. Sing, -s indicating multium fountain. In the spelling, the - of Hey, the German value must also get the -Z-Van -Tzwa.
afr Die twee plase is klaarblyklik volgens hulle vorm (Oos omarm Wes) die gevolg van onderverdeling van 'n eenheid. Hulle le in die noordelike rig- ting van Maltahöhe af, en val nog net in die Rehoboth-streek, d.w.s. hulle is grensplase van die suidelike Rehoboth-gebied. Die name kom eers later op die kaarte voor. Die betekenis is wel soos Nama ǀ Hei- [ǀhai] = 'fahl' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 177), en tsawi- = 'der Schwarzebenholzbaum' (Kr.-R. 381), m.a.w. die 'Fontein/waterplek (aangedui met die -s van die fern, sing.) by die vaal (ǀhai) swartebbenhoutboom/bome (tsawi-)'. Die tsabie- of tsawwieboom (Euclea pseudebenus, die spesienaam te vertaal as 'vals ebbenhout') is in Nama so genoem omdat die blare aan die een sy soos 'as' lyk, in Nama tsao- = 'die Asche' (Kr.-R. 379). Die begrip word eintlik dubbel uitgedruk met die voorvoeging van ǀhai = vaal of, in hierdie verband, askleurig. Die vorm -tzwasies is o.i. ’n sametrekking uit -tsawi- sies, d.w.s. uit -tsawe + lokatiewe morfeem si- plus die fern. sing, -s wat veelal fonteinname aandui. In die spelling moet die -ei- van Hei- sy Duitse waarde kry, ook die -z- van -tzwa-.
