Die wisseluitspraak van ╪k(h)oa- = olifant, wisseling van k- en g- (asem en stem). ǀǀGam- = water, die -s wys aan dat die beginpunt ’n bron was, -fontein in die vertaling. Kyk verder die bespreking by KOAGAMS. Terloops, Kanas- ser, d.i. die Duitse afleiding by ǀKanas, waaroor Heider self die volgende mededeling doen: 'ǀKanas ist in der Namasprache der Name für die Gobabis- ser und Bersebaer'. Dit was klaarblyklik ’n skeldnaam vir 'splinter'-mense (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 216).
