Die Khoekhoense naam is al bespreek in TH A** 1079, en daar is verkla- rings gegee wat heeltemal afwyk van vader Zaby se verklaring per sy infor- mante. Volgens hulle is die eerste lid soos Nama ǀui-(s) = 'der Stein, der Berg' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 369), mv. jui-di, en die tweede lid soos ǀǀaigu = 'die Mitte, der Zwischenraum' (Kr.-R. 19), d.w.s. tussen. tussenin. vir 'Tussen die Berge', 'Deur berge omring'. Die hoofaksent val hier op die berge, by die Blankes in hulle verklaring val dit op die fontein daar.
