Choantsas is farm No. 292, in the northeastern corner of the district Tsumeb and in the upper of the Omuramba Ovambo area. Elephants were abundant here. The first member is like Nama ╪khoa- = elephant; The member, indicates a pit, water location, swimming space, brought by our first spokesman with Nama TSA = swimming (Rest 1960 DNW 56), bath, by our second spokesman is the component connected to Nama Tsa = 'Lecken '(Rest 1960 DNW 38).

Choantsas is plaas nr 292, in die noordoostelike hoek van die distrik Tsumeb en in die boloop van die Omuramba Ovambo-gebied. Olifante was hier volop gewees. Die eerste lid is soos Nama ╪khoa- = olifant; die lid -tsa- dui ’n kuil, waterplek, swemplek aan, deur ons eerste segsman in verband gebring met Nama tsa = swem (Rust 1960 DNW 56), bad, deur ons tweede segsman is die komponent verbind met Nama tsa = 'lecken' (Rust 1960 DNW 38). Dit sluit beter aan by die tsa- wat sonder nasaliteit uitgespreek word. Oorspronklik was dit die naam van ’n drinkplek, ’n fontein, eintlik ’n diep gat in n kalkbedding (inskrywing van dr Hartmann) langs die 'alte pad'; die -s (vr. ekv.) is dikwels (soos weer hier) indeks van waterplekke. Dr Hartmann se graadaanwysing berus op 'n klein miswysing — die juiste ligging is 1818 CC. 'Olifantslekpiek'.
