Vollmer FH 1863 Sources 5 183 'Azab (Otjimbingue) Kreft HH 1866 Sources 3 196' Azab Tell here for Otjimbingue '. Karokua E (Herero) S.J. (Ong. 1928) Sources 2 29-30 'Even in the Namasprache, Otjimbingue has apparently received its name according to this Waterhouse Omusema [the Hereronaam privileges 'OM Freis of Verkwik Te Wees']. Because in the nama language one calls the place A-Tsab. A means 'drink', and TSA means 'costs'. Apparently, in the old time, when the names were given, someone has been paid by the unknown water in Otjimbingue, and another did not want to believe it's good water in this Disciring area. Since the narrator probably advised him to go myself and try the water. (A = drinkǃ Tsa = tryǃ Kostenǃ) That's my opinion, and I believe that it is right '.

(ong. 1928) Quellen 2 29-30 'Auch in der Namasprache hat Otjimbingue seinen Namen offenbar nach dieser Was- serstelle Omusema [die Hereronaam beteken ‘Om verfris of verkwik te wees’] erhalten. Denn in der Namasprache nennt man den Ort A-tsab. A heisst ‘trinken’, und tsa heisst ‘kosten’. Offenbar hat in der alten Zeit, als die Namen gegeben würden, jemand von dem unbekannten Wasser in Otjimbingue erzahlt, und ein anderer hat es nicht glauben wollen, dass es in dieser diirren Gegend gutes Wasser gebe. Da hat ihm der Erzahler wahrscheinlich geraten, er solle selbst hingehen und das Wasser probieren. (a = trinkǃ tsa = probiereǃ kosteǃ) Das ist meine Meinung, und ich glaube, dass sie richtig ist'. Krenz FK 5 5 1972 Brief 'Atsab (Otjimbingwe), a = trinken, tsa = proben, schmecken'.
