Gaisis

Like Nama ǀ Geisi (Rhine Spelling for ǀ Gaisi) in Kr.-r. 1969 NW 106 = 'Hasslich', but also reinforcing for 'Sehr', eg. by fear or fright. 'Fearing' or 'ugly / hateful (waterhole)' as a statement rests on a Khoekhoian word with lateral suction consonant, as with Mrs. Schatz, while Dr Hartmann heard the cerebral slap. The old alternative name is still life, but now with a deviant sucking, well based on new singing (nation sedimization). The Hereronaam Otjikoto (in Ondanga Oshikoto) is declared 'der Abgrund' (Kohler), 'Einsturz- Becken' (Mrs. Schatz). We find no good relationship between the Herero and Khoekhoian names with the given meanings. The question After the meaning of this gaisis, OI still remains open. It should be borne in mind that the 'Buschleutes' speak in this area Khoekhens.

afr Soos Nama ǀgeisi (Rynse spelling vir ǀgaisi) in Kr.-R. 1969 NW 106 = 'hasslich', maar ook versterkend vir 'sehr', bv. by vrees of skrik. 'Vrees- wekkende' of 'lelike/Haatlike (Watergat)' as verklaring berus op ’n Khoekhoense woord met laterale suigkonsonant, soos by mev. Schatz, terwyl dr Hartmann die serebrale klap gehoor het. Die ou alternatiewe naam lewe dus nog, maar nou met ’n afwykende suigklap, wel op grond van nuwe singewing (volksetimologisering). Die Hereronaam Otjikoto (in Ondanga Oshikoto) word verklaar as 'der Abgrund' (Kohler), 'Einsturz- becken' (mev. Schatz). Ons vind geen goeie verband tussen die Herero- en Khoekhoense name met die gegewe betekenisse nie. Die vraag na die betekenis van hierdie Gaisis bly o.i. nog oop. Daar moet in gedagte gehou word dat die 'Buschleute' in hierdie omgewing Khoekhoens praat.
