eng From this anthazinal, it appears that everyone except the time is still relatively young missionary Judt (since 1877 established in Gobabis) the lateral Schnalz writes when they indicate the place name with his suction flap. It will be heard. The tradition of the spelling of NAO (I.P.V. Nau) was inlaid by Dr. Flahn 1879 and set by the PNC under the appointment of Dr. Vedder 1949. This spelling is apparently the result of Dr Hahn's own etrimology, and when it was only accepted as 'correct', the statement was inevitable that it was with 'ancestors' etc.. in connection, or better, brought. Everyone crowes afterwards. Now hahn had looked, but there is justified doubt, viz. Whether it is the only distraction. The doubt stems from the relatively detailed quotes from the Judgment Eggt's report sent to occupy the Wesleyan mission. He said, by the way,, however, settled on Gobabis. Eggert did much effort about the original name, O.M. to determine its spelling and meaning. To establish a Rhense post in a place with the name of another Society, did not take it for granted. As far as he could notice, the old name meant 'pointed birthflare', alone, he could not understand the application well, and it hampered him. He believes it is topographically understandable, viz. that the 'stain' trees were on the hanging This view that he will observe on the spot, his statement entirely departs from what the other later understood, and also in the statement of the first member. We believe he was in better prevalence to determine the real meaning Set, and see no reason why we should not return to this. The name of the source has passed on the farm and station, as so often happened.

afr Uit hierdie bloemlesing blyk dit dat almal behalwe die destyds nog betreklik jong sendeling Judt (sedert 1877 in Gobabis gevestig) die laterale schnalz skryf wanneer hulle die pleknaam met sy suigklap aandui. Dit sal wel juis gehoor wees. Die tradisie van die spelling van Nao- (i.p.v. Nau-) is ingelêi deur dr Flahn 1879 en deur die PNK onder aanwysing van dr Vedder 1949 so vasgestel. Hierdie spelling is klaarblyklik die gevolg van dr Hahn se eie etimologisering, en toe dit eers aanvaar is as 'korrek', was die verklaring onvermydelik dat dit met 'voorouers' ens. in verband staan, of beter, gebring word. Almal kraai agterna. Nou kan Hahn gelyk gehad het, maar daar is geregverdigde twyfel, nl. of dit die enigste afleiding is. Die twyfel spruit uit die betreklik uitvoerige aanhalings uit die verslag van sendeling Eggert wat uitgestuur is om die sen- dingstasie te beset wat die Wesleyaanse sending verlaat het. Hy het horn, terloops gesê, egter op Gobabis gevestig. Eggert het veel moeite oor die oorspronklike naam gedoen, o.m. om sy spelling en betekenis vas te stel. Om 'n Rynse pos te stig op 'n plek met die naam van ’n ander genootskap het horn vanselfsprekend nie aangestaan nie. Sover hy kon agterkom, het die ou naam beteken 'Spits geboortevlek', alleen kon hy die toepassing nie goed begryp nie, en dit het horn gehinder. Hy meen dat dit topografies te verstaan is, nl. dat die 'vlek' borne teen die hang die aanleiding was. Sana = 'das Muttermal' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 340), die -bis is plekbenoemend en is later deur horn toegevoeg (dit het trouens reeds bestaan). In hierdie siening wat hy ter plaatse sal verneem het, wyk sy verklaring heeltemal af van wat die ander later daaronder verstaan het, en ook in die verklaring van die eerste lid. Ons meen dat hy in ’n beter geleëntheid was om die eintlike betekenis vas te stel, en sien geen rede hoekom ons nie weer daartoe moet terugkeer nie. Die naam van die bron het oorgegaan op die plaas en stasie, soos so dikwels gebeur het.
