afr
Hiervolgens saamgestel uit Nama ǀnom = baard, wisseluitspraak van jgom = hare of harig (Rust 1960 DNW 29), daarnaas ǀhom = baard, wisseling n- en h-, vgl. 5 D 6, en ǀga- = gras (in die algemeen) (Rust 28), dus ǀnom-ǀga- is 'baardgras' (geslag Andropogon, fam. Gromineae, vgl. WAT 1950 1 3121. plus hoeveelheidsuffiks -xa = ryk aan, volop, die geheel die 'Plek (-s) met baie (-xa) baardgras' of die 'Baardgrasryke Plek'. Is 'baardgras' ’n vertaling uit Nama, of is 'ǀnom-ǀga' uit Afrikaans vertaal, of het hulle onafhanklik van mekaar ontstaan? Groot kans dat dit die middelste moontlikheid is.
