On p. 905 of th ** also called the statement of Mr Hobohm, the owner. We now believe that He and the Segslides of Grootfontein have uneven. With Dr Hartmann's spelling in front of us, the ground word is not Inara (Mr Hobohm) or Inora (Mr Xaregeb e.a.). But ǀǀ Nora, the Bushmen's, a Sarcocaulon species.

Op bl. 905 van TH A** het ons ook die verklaring van mnr Hobohm genoem, die eienaar. Ons glo nou dat hy asook die segsliede van Grootfontein ongelyk het. Met dr Hartmann se spelling voor ons, is die grond- woord nie Inara (mnr Hobohm) of Inora (mnr Xaregeb e.a.) nie. maar ǀǀnora-, die boesmanskers, ’n Sarcocaulon-spesie. Norabis is dan so onge- veer die 'Boesmanskersfontein' (ǀǀnora- 4- lokatief -bi- + (hier) bronbe- noemende -s). Dit geld hier natuurlik plaas nr 387, westelik van Otavi, distrik Grootfontein.
