Neineis
The farm is worked for the tin on it and lying in the dist. Omaruru (Meinert AdressBuch 1939 388). It is known to the third spokesman, a recognized namaquundial of Usakos. He sees in member Nei (n) - the word in Nama for 'Giraffe', theǃ Nei- [ǃ Nai-b] (Rest 1960 DNW 34), and the second member is like Nama ╪ei- = rail (Rest 59 ), with location-indicative; Pastor Dehl thought of ╪ei- [╪ ai] with middle tone, then 'copper (ore),' Mr du Raan know it with in-depth, then translate with 'foot', 'sole', 'trace' (KR . -R .. 1969 NW 65), the whole 'Giraffe track', according to the latter. Pastor Diehl probably led him by considering the machining of the miners. Thatǃ Nei- = giraffe also occurs in other farm names, strengthened in our opinion the derivation of Mr du Raan.
