Geiomi, Geioms, Geimi, Kaium
At Dr Hartmann lies still on the Huab, thus slightly souther than the current three-crowns. Driacles lie about where the map of 1911 placed his 'Kaium'. Kaio is just a variety of Geioms. Father Zaby's converting makes sure triple earlier had a Khoekhozen name, the 'big house' (Gei [kai] = big, and omi or oms = house). A reason for the nomination gives Mr Krenz in th a * 414, viz. Because the granite blocks make the impression of houses. The historical importance of geiomi at a time leads us from what Father Zaby leaves in the riverbed.

Zaby A 1979 Rector Namibiana 1 (1) 51' Driekrone, No. 516. [from Alther. The Dama known as] Gei-Omi, Geimi. often talked to Gei- mi spoken. This is the place where Idab, a well-known Damara, Had. From there he dominated the whole area between Ugab and Huab. Gei-Omi means 'big house'. It's supposed to have lived out of this place only old people. The boys were in the field on the different livestock posts '.

By dr Hartmann le Geioms nog aan die Huab, dus effens suideliker as die huidige Driekrone. Driekrone le ongeveer waar die kaart van 1911 sy 'Kaium' geplaas het. Kaium is net ’n wisselspelling van Geioms. Vader Zaby se rondvraag maak dit seker dat Driekrone vroeër 'n Khoekhoense naam gehad het, die 'Groothuis' (Gei [kai] = groot, en omi of oms = huis). 'n Rede vir die benoeming gee mnr Krenz in TH A* 414, nl. omdat die granietblokke die indruk van huise maak. Die geskiedkundige belang- rikheid van Geiomi op 'n tyd lei ons af van wat Vader Zaby laat deur- skemer. Hartmann praat op hierdie plek ook van 'Granitbanke' en van diep sand in die rivierbedding.
