ǃUniǁgams
Hartmann is not sure about the location. The meaning is, laid on the environment and names of places southward Hicrof. Perhaps 'palm tree fountain', at lunia = palm tree, and ǀǀ water, water, with the -s for the source here to the old weapon. However, the sound is also possible ǀ Uni for the first member. Meaning 'last', the whole: the 'last water', also at Krenz FK 1979. We no longer recovered the name on younger cards.

Hartmann is nie seker oor die ligging nie. Die betekenis is, gelêt op die omgewing en name van plekke suidwaarts hicrvan. miskien 'Palmboom- fontein', by lunia = palmboom, en ǀǀgam- water, waterplek, met die -s vir die bron hier aan die ou wapad. Afgaande op die klank, is egter ook moontlik ǀuni- vir die eerste lid. betekenende 'laaste', die geheel: die 'laaste-water', ook so by Krenz FK 1979 Aantekening. Ons het die naam nie meer op jonger kaarte teruggevind nie.
