Ums

The carbus stop large-UMS No. 592 LE 92 km from Gobabis to Aranos, and small-UMS Farm No 67 76 km from Gobabis. Apparently, there is no longer a urns than place name (cf. Kriegskarte), but only the hybrid big-ums, in contrast with which small UMS got its name. Here, a piece of history was lost over the big house. Both farms are at the highway, small-UMS mortar. Cfg. also geiums.

afr Die motorbushalte Groot-Ums nr 592 le 92 km van Gobabis af na Aranos, en Klein-Ums plaas nr 67 76 km van Gobabis af. Blykbaar is daar nie meer 'n Urns as pleknaam nie (vgl. Kriegskarte), maar net die hibridiese Groot-Ums, in teenstelling waarmee Klein-Ums sy naam gekry het. Hier het 'n stukkie geskiedenis verlore gegaan oor die groot huis. Albei plase le aan die hoofweg, Klein-Ums noordeliker. Vgl. ook GEIUMS.
