afr Die lares is ’n Rhus lancea, soms ook genoem rooi-ebbenhout. Die anlautende suigkonsonant ǃ onderskei die woord van die ={= in die origens gelykluidende naam vir 'steekgras'. Die formans -xa- dui aan dat die saak oorvloedig voorkom. Die ǃa-b = 'rivier'. 'Rivier (lab) met baie (xa) rooi ebbenhout- bome (lare-)', of kortweg 'Kareebomerivier' — die Khoekhoense lare- het in Afrikaans oorgegaan as karee. 'Hierdie rivier is vandag bekend as ǃAre- xalnab' (J. Boois 1976 Taalassistent, Aantekening).
