afr Hahn Th 1879 kaart '╪Geis Mts.' Naam ook so gespel by Kiepert 1893 kaart. Sprigade-Moisel 1904 Kriegsk 'Kl. Spittzkoppjes', noordoos daarvan 'Gr. Spittzkoppjes', en ooswaarts daarvan 'Geis-B.'

eng Mr FK Krenz 1974 confirmed that Geals were the old name of Spitskoppies, but the cricke marte caused the suspicion that in 1904 the German-African name had pushed the old name that was only applicable to an eastern part. Hahn and votes write the suction consonant as palatal, the other peoples of today let a dental hear. Krenz FK 1976 Note also knows the name with the dental, but its preference for ╪Geins. The nationality of the vowel, according to Hahn, is now realized as consonant. We could not acquire any certainty whether Spitskopjes is the direct translation or an own finding of whites as Improvards; Our interrogated settlers believe it is a translation of the Damaranam. A consideration hereby is a remark of Hahn from 1901, viz. In its Collectanea 158 '╪Geis, Ein pairs Granitkuppen 60 Meilen [97 km] N.O. Walfischbay, aus ^ Tuition contrahirt zu oder ╪Geins ╪Geis ... 'If the ╪ga niche strain related to Hahn's 1901 ╪ga- (Collectanea 123) than money hereby his comment' ╪gab oder ╪gab, of Empowering, Das in the Luft Ragend, Bergpitze ', and then this mountain name of' Spitskoppies '(however spelled) is a direct translation. This will then follow the usual pattern that is noticed in such cases again. There are also other 'Spitskoppies' that are unambiguously significant, cf. e.g. Gouib.

afr Mnr FK Krenz 1974 bevestig dat Geins die ou naam van Spitskoppies is, maar die Kriegskarte laat die vermoede ontstaan dat in 1904 die Duits-Afrikaanse naam die ou naam verdring het wat nog net op ’n oostelike deel toepasbaar was. Hahn en Kiepert skryf die suigkonsonant as palataal, die ander segsliede van vandag laat ’n dentaal hoor. Krenz FK 1976 Aantekening ken die naam met die dentaal ook, maar sy voorkeur is vir ╪Geins. Die nasaliteit van die klinker, volgens Hahn, word nou as konsonant -n- gerealiseer. Ons kon geen sekerheid verkry of Spittskopjes die direkte vertaling is of ’n eie vinding van Blankes as naamgewers is nie; ons ondervraagde segsliede meen dat dit ’n vertaling is van die Damaranaam. ’n Oorweging hierby is ’n opmerking van Hahn uit 1901, nl. in sy Collectanea 158 '╪Geis, ein Paar Granitkuppen 60 Meilen [97 km] N.O. Walfischbay, aus ^Ganis contrahirt zu ╪Geins oder ╪Geis...' Indien die ╪ga-nis stamverwant is aan Hahn 1901 se ╪ga- (Collectanea 123) dan geld hierby sy opmerking '╪ga-b oder ╪gab, der Em- porsteigende, das in die luft Ragende, Bergspitze', en dan is hierdie bergnaam van 'Spitskoppies' (hoe ook al gespel) ’n regstreekse vertaling. Dit sal dan die gewone patroon volg wat in sodanige gevalle keer op keer opgemerk is. Daar is ook ander 'Spitskoppies' wat wel ondubbelsinnig ver- talings is, vgl. bv. GOUIB.
