lê aan die grens van Botswana, verder ooswaarts as DABIS nr 298, waarvan dit ’n wisseluitspraak kan wees. Die betekenis sal dieselfde wees, nl. genoem na ’n fontein of oop watertjie waar die diere gebrak het, die -s is plekduidend by fonteine. SWA-Boer 1973 spel hierdie naam 'Davies' (bl. 71), anders dus as hierbo en in die geraadpleegde Adressbiicher, en mnr Kalian EP 1974 Oud- skoolhoof beweer in ’n gesprek dat hierdie plaas die naam van ’n landmeter Dawes dra oor wie ons geen besonderhede kon inwin nie.
