Kaiǁkhaes
Many literature on Okahandja. In the above, the necessary say about distraction and meaning; Spelling differences also turned out. [Only should be noted that Schultze's equivalent is another place than Okahandja, it is in the direction of rocket.] Mr WHG Haacke 1974 Assistant Education Planner Note still draws our attention to Brincker's definition of the Hereronaam Okahandja as ' Eine Grosse, Kahle, Sandy Fläche ', a statement directly connecting to the namanam.

Since the river is very sandy and she had her branch on the source, which was in the immediate vicinity of the sandy riverbed, called the place Gei- ǀ ǀ KHeis = big sand '.

Da der Flusslauf sehr sandig ist und sie ihre Niederlassung an der Quelle hatten, die sich in unmittelbarer Nahe des sandigen Flussbettes befand, nannten sie den Ort Gei-ǀ ǀkheis = Grosser Sand'.

Heelwat literatuur oor Okahandja. In bostaande is die nodige gesê oor afleiding en betekenis; spellingverskille het ook geblyk. [Alleen moet opgemerk word dat Schultze se gelykbetekenende Keikeis ’n ander plek is as Okahandja, dit le naamlik in die rigting van Hasuur.] Mnr WHG Haacke 1974 Assistent-Onderwysbeplanner Aantekening vestig nog ons aandag op Brincker se definisie van die Hereronaam Okahandja as 'eine grosse, kahle, sandige Fläche', ’n verklaring wat regstreeks aansluit by die Namanaam.
