Description
eng Enough directions that the first member is like Nama Xami = lion. The -dom-I is possible as Nama stupid = 'Einsinken' (Kr. As River, as we got to know it elsewhere, eg. at Nudomi. The mid - gig - is the MV. ml. At the Xami, so about 'lion (river)'. The river lies approx. 88 km west of Omaruru.
afr Genoeg aanwysings dat die eerste lid soos Nama xami = leeu is. Die -dom-i is moontlik soos Nama dom = 'einsinken' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 56), ’n oneffenheid na onder, ’n verdieping, anders as 'keel' in die sin van kanaal, afvoerkanaal, d.i. as rivier, soos ons dit elders leer ken het, bv. by NUDOMI. Die mid- delstuk -gu- is wel die mv. ml. by die xami, so ongeveer 'leeue(rivier)'. Die rivier le ong. 88 km wes van Omaruru.
