ǃOwoxūs
We have to do here with Farm No 203, Southeast of Grootfontein. and to Omatako. The survey ones connect the name with Namaǃ OWO = 'Hartes Kauen, Knabbern ...' (Kr.-. 1969 NW 330). The -S specifies the name as that of a source, so indicated by Dr Hartmann. The Meaning is then about 'source where disconnected, for example where scavengers legs'.

Ons het hier te doen met plaas nr 203, suidoos van Grootfontein. en aan Omatako. Die ondervraagdes verbind die naam met Nama ǃowo = 'Hartes kauen, knabbern...' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 330). Die -s spesifiseer die naam as die van 'n bron, so deur dr Hartmann aangedui. Die betekenis is dan so ongeveer 'Bron waar geknabbel word, byvoorbeeld waar aasdiere bene knabbel'.
