eng Budack KFR 1979 Ethnologist Report of fieldwork 'Gai Hai-Khaos, a place of residence near Walvis Bay, miles 4. Literally' big tree-behind. ' At Schultime 1904-5 Anuk 165 I find a similar shape, viz. ǀǀ Kxukxaos = Kuckaus. 'Ort, Hinter (Kxaos) Dem der Dornbaum Acacia Horrida Willd. (11kxub) Haufig ist. 'Khaos, Kxaos, Khaus' behind'. At this place one gets the first borne, d.w.s. seen from Walvis Bay '.
afr Budack KFR 1979 Etnoloog Verslag van veldwerk 'Gai Hai-khaos, ’n woonplek naby Walvisbaai, Myl 4. letterlik 'Groot boom-agter’. By Schultze 1904-5 ANUK 165 vind ek ’n soortgelyke vorm, nl. ǀǀKxukxaos = Kuckaus. ‘Ort, hinter (kxaos) dem der Dornbaum Acacia horrida Willd. (11kxub) haufig ist.’ Khaos, kxaos, khaus beteken ‘agter’. By hierdie plek kry ’n mens die eerste borne, d.w.s. vanaf Walvisbaai gesien'.
