ǀAexaǀaub
Warmquelle lies east of Sesfontein in the Kaokoveld reserve, in the catchment of the Hoanib. 'Warmquelle' is the literal translation in German of the inland name, out ǀ Ae- = 'fire', ǀ Aexa = 'hot', and ǀ au- = 'source / fountain', in German 'quelle'. We learn that the inland name is shortened to ǀ Aexaub, the literal meaning of which is 'hot mist' (at ǀ Ae-, plus xau- = wrapping), so that determining 'somewhat' above in the quote poeties.

Warmquelle le oostelik van Sesfontein in die Kaokoveld-reservaat, in die opvanggebied van die Hoanib. 'Warmquelle' is die letterlike vertaling in Duits van die inlandse naam, uit ǀae- = 'vuur', ǀaexa = 'warm', en ǀau- = 'bron/fontein', in Duits 'Quelle'. Ons verneem dat die inlandse naam in die omgang verkort word tot ǀAexaub, waarvan die letterlike betekenis is 'Warmmis' (by ǀae-, plus xau- = drek), sodat die bepaling van 'ietwat' hierbo in die aanhaling poeties aandoen.
