Die spoorwegrooster gee die halte 'Gomgams' aan as 8 km van Achanib af, op die trajek Dordabis-Doreenville. Ons lokaliseer die halte op 2318 AA. Dit le noordwes van leonardville. Smith 1966 CNSAP 73 noem onder die basterkameel(doring) verskeie spesies Acacia, o.a. die A. tortil- lis. Die ǃgom- word gewoonlik gebruik vir die Olea africana of olienhout, maar mnr Kariseb beweer dat dit ook die basterkameelboom in hulle omgewing (distrik Gobabis) aandui. Die ǀǀgam- = water, ook fontein. Die naam vind ons nie meer vandag terug op ons kaarte nie. Vgl. verder GUMGAMS TH A* 481-2 waar Blanke segsliede ander verklarings gee.
