afr Die Auheib is, volgens Vedder, die 'bitterbos' (Nama au = bitter, en hei-b/-s = boom, bos, hout ens.), vgl. ook Kr.-R. 1969 NW 314 s.v. ou-heis: 'Bitter- busch' en Smith 1966 CNSAP 107 oor botaniese identifikasies. Die tam- boetiboom/hout is volgens lg. 456 Spirostachys africana. Die pleknaam is dan klaarblyklik n.a.v. die aanwesigheid van die boomsoort, nl. die tamboetie en/of die bitterbos. In ’n tweede Aantekening onderskei Krenz 1975 die Namavorme soos volg: 'Auheib = Bitterbos; Auiheib = Tambuti; ╪Auheib = Grewia (Rosyntjiebos)'.
