ǁOas
A source to the Wapad, south of Naosanabis. The only help we have is the lateral suction consonant, and then think of ǀǀ ob = dead, plus -as = hole with water in it, so 'water place where death is', or, with the -s as index of A fountain / source etc., to think about eg. ǀǀ oa = 'Quatschen (in Nassen Schuhen Oder Stiefeln)' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 321).

Description
eng
A source to the Wapad, south of Naosanabis. The only help we have is the lateral suction consonant, and then think of ǀǀ ob = dead, plus -as = hole with water in it, so 'water place where death is', or, with the -s as index of A fountain / source etc., to think about eg. ǀǀ oa = 'Quatschen (in Nassen Schuhen Oder Stiefeln)' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 321).
afr
’n Bron aan die wapad, suid van Naosanabis. Die enigste hulp wat ons het, is die laterale suigkonsonant, en dan te dink aan ǀǀo-b = dood, plus -a-s = gat met water daarin, dus 'Waterplek waar die dood is', of, met die -s as indeks van 'n fontein/bron ens., te dink aan bv. ǀǀoa = 'quatschen (in nassen Schuhen Oder Stiefeln)' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 321).
