le aan die Nossob, net ten suide van leonardville; nie plaasnaam nie, maar was destyds ’n bron waar diere te drinke gegee is. Die betekenis volgens Hahn se spelling is wel ǀǀgoro = hoi, by Hahn 1901 Collectanea 40 as 'hohl' opgegee, of soos Nama ǀǀgoros = 'Trankrinne' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 123), met die -bi-s as lokatief.
