ǀGumtsas
This drinking place used northward in 1903 on their journey from Tsintsabis northwards, is currently in the area of the Okavango Reserve. Dr Hartmann calls the suction patch that we accept two segslides but the word ǀ gum (= sucking, tight, dense bebos, cf. Kr.-R. 1969 NW 114/115) Tonalize and explain differently. But probably it can't be 'Digbos' because Hartmann says it's a dry flattery

Hierdie drinkplek wat Gerber en Gass in 1903 op hulle reis van Tsintsabis af noordwaarts gebruik het, le tans in die gebied van die Okavango-reser- vaat. Dr Hartmann noem die suigklap wat ons twee segsliede aanvaar maar die woord ǀgom (= suig, ook dig, dig bebos, vgl. Kr.-R. 1969 NW 114/115) verskillend tonaliseer en verklaar. Maar waarskynlik kan dit nie 'Digbebos' wees nie, omdat Hartmann se dat dit ’n droë vlei is
