Ais, Aes
This AIS is farm no. Q. 5-19 southwestern of the town and at the beach, at the foot of the sand dunes. 'Sand' is in Nama 11khae- (s). Now, in 1752, Beutler has indeed heard the word without vertebrate. He writes O.A. '... Arrivated for the Riviere IJ Continuous soo much Ais Zand River' (cf. Hott 437-438 for discussion of this). D.w.s. 11khae - was heard in the eastern dialects of Khoens as (ǀǀ) Ij-, and it correlates well by the name (ǀ j) AIS. It gives a good possibility to Mr. Sterad's suspicion, but according to his indication, the sucking consonant is a = f or perhaps a ǀ, surely no ǀǀ not, and for the meaning of 'sand' must the clap sound the lateral ǀǀ be. With the slap as ╪, the name can know 'place of residence, recruit', according to Mr Krenz, The statement could be. Then there was a kraal earlier, if the name could have this application. On request, Severad continued fieldwork and reported in a letter 1979 that the Xhosa ruling is for AIS Eqesi. in the Xhosa- Orthography corresponds the slap q with the Khoekhowense = 1 = and / orǃ AIS does not refer to 'sand', but after something else, eg. to 'bead / yard / residence'.
