In addition to the conversation who was fed slightly earlier with Mr Krenz and recorded on tape: 'Oh, I asked my aunt. ǃ Ao is the place on top of the ridge,ǃ AOB is the height. It's the white bass tree, the ǀ huniboma, which stood on top of the ridge. This is what the name means '

Krenz FK Boer 1977 Aantekening 'ǃAob = hoogte, pas, ǀhuni = witbas. ‘Die witbasboom wat op die rant groei’.'. Ter aanvulling uit die gesprek wat effens vroeër met mnr Krenz gevoer is en op band opgeneem is: 'O ja, die het ek my tante gevra. ǃAo is die plek bo-op die rant, ǃaob is die hoogte. Dis die witbasboom, die ǀhuniboom, wat bo-op die rant gestaan het. Dit is wat die naam beteken'

Die nodige deur mnr Krenz gesê. Die witbasboom is die Boscia albitrunca (Smith 1966 CNSAP 512). Dus te verstaan: ǃAob ai ma ǀhunis: 'Rant-op staan witgatboom'. In sy Aantekening hierby bring Boois J 1979 Taalassistent ’n totaal nuwe verklaring. Hy skryf 'ǃAobe beteken ook ‘vrees’, ǃaoǃao is ‘bangmaak’, en hunis of ǀhones is die naam van die uil. Uile is dikwels by myngate te vinde. Uile is bekend as bangmakers. ǃAobeǀhones = ‘Bangmakeruil’, en dit lyk vir my die waarskynlikste verklaring vir so ’n plek wat deur kranse omring is'
