ǁNâǂgâs

The -s also locates. 'Hornkrans', 'Hornkranz' is apparently translated from the Nama, as we can assume that the name for the striking place will be reasonably old. The second member is perhaps rather than accepted by Kienley, viz. As = ^ Gas = 'Der Bergkranz' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 97), other than at Dr Budack. In ancient sources, the name is often reproduced as Nagas and Nakas.

afr Die -s lokativeer ook. 'Horingkrans', 'Hornkranz' is klaarblyklik vertaal uit die Nama, aangesien ons kan aanneem dat die naam vir die opvallende plek redelik oud sal wees. Die tweede lid is miskien eerder soos by Kroenlein te aanvaar, nl. as =^gas = 'der Bergkranz' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 97), origens soos by dr Budack. In ou bronne word die naam dikwels weergegee as Nagas en Nakas.
