Ons neem aan dit verwys na plaas Rietfontein 867 en die moerasagtige gebied langs die Rietfontein-Omarumba, nog in Suidwes-Afrika, die 'Blok' geleë noordoostelik van Gobabis. Die element -be- is ’n lokatiewe morfeem die -s spesifiseer meestal 'n waterplek, 'n bron, pan, en ook die nedersetting by of random die waterplek. Die eerste lid is soos Nama ǀkhunu = 'saugen' (Rust 1960 DNW 51), naamlik water met ’n riet (in hierdie geval), ook 'von oben abtrinken', en daarby 'ǀkhunu-╪ui = aus- saugen' (albei Kr.-R. 1969 NW 252).
