Auros

The particular suction consonant falls on. With the -ro-as diminutiefformance it can be like Namaǃ Au- = neck, neck (Kr.-r. 1969 NW 30) or better, likeǃ Ou- [ǃ Au] = 'Das Jagdfeld, Das 'field', Aussenfeld, Steppe '(Aid. 329). We believe the suction consonant is wrong, it is probably printing error for the dental slap, so that it is as auros, exactly as at Auros 1917, for 'Fonteintjie'. It claims us n.a.v. the ftereronaam okaharui for the same place. His full name is Okaharui Katiti (Okaharui Okatiti) and means 'Small Quelle', cf. O. Koehler 1958 Herero-Farmnames 99.

afr Die besondere suigkonsonant val op. Met die -ro- as diminutiefformans kan dit wees soos Nama ǃau- = nek, hals (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 30) of beter, soos ǃou- [ǃau] = 'das Jagdfeld, das ‘veld’, Aussenfeld, Steppe' (aid. 329). Ons meen die suigkonsonant is verkeerd, dit is waarskynlik drukfout vir die dentale klap, sodat dit as ǀAuros te lese is, presies soos by AUROS 1917, vir 'Fonteintjie'. Dit beweer ons n.a.v. die Ftereronaam Okaharui vir dieselfde plek. Sy voile naam is Okaharui katiti (Okaharui okatiti) en beteken 'kleine Quelle', vgl. O. Koehler 1958 Herero-Farmnamen 99.
