Ook op SWA-reeks 1972 vel 2114 Omaruru is dit ingeskryf as 'Homidi- gams', aan die Omarururivier, nou ’n verlate tinmyn. Die letterlike betekenis is die 'Hemel se water', soos Nama ǀhommi- - 'der Himmel' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 185), gevolg deur die genitiewe partikel di = se, en hy deur ǀǀgam- = water; die afsluitende fern. sing, -s kan hier fungeer as die be- paaldelike indeks van ’n nedersetting by 'n waterplek. Homdigams of die 'Hemel se water' kan wel ook opgevat word as ’n poetiese siening van 'reen', bykomstig.
