eng Located at the Bolope of the Black Nossob, nearly between Okahandja and Gobabis. The farm otjite-n. No. 160 more north than the mountain, according to the cards. No internal indication of the meaning, probably like Nama Dao = 'Brennen, Kochen' (Kr.R. 1969 NW 53), with Lokativerende formans -bis, thus 'Brandberg' in translation, or otherwise, if the mountain its name From a fountain (because of the -S), then 'Kookfontein' with overstock on the mountain. The Hereronaam Otjite means 'Diirler (Noch Stehender) Baum', according to O. Kohler (Africanischer Heimatkalender 1958 104), and if this tree of the tree is the result of a fire in which it was standing, then there is connection between the Nama and hereroname, so they confirm each other, viz. T.O.V. The statement of Daobis as 'fire-place', which went on the mountain name.

afr geleë aan die boloop van die Swart-Nossob, naastenby tussen Okahandja en Gobabis. Die plaas Otjite-N. nr 160 le meer noord as die berg, volgens die kaarte. Geen interne aanduiding van die betekenis nie, waarskynlik soos Nama dao = 'brennen, kochen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 53), met lokativerende formans -bis, dus 'Brandberg' in vertaling, of anders, as die berg sy naam van ’n fontein het (vanweë die -s), dan 'Kookfontein' met odrdrag op die berg. Die Hereronaam Otjite beteken 'diirrer (noch stehender) Baum', volgens O. Kohler (Afrikanischer Heimatkalender 1958 104), en as hierdie dorheid van die boom die gevolg is van 'n brand waarin dit gestaan het, dan is daar wel verband tussen die Nama- en Hereroname, sodat hulle mekaar bevestig, nl. t.o.v. die verklaring van Daobis as 'Brand-plek', wat op die bergnaam oorgegaan het.
