Geitsaub
A very interesting dispersion, as the eye-philological identification of Ge- with Nama GEI [KAI] = Great Horn and is actually pattern. The Tsub = Puts, also source, fountain. Here the member is Gei as Nama ǀ ǀ claimed, globalize also ǀǀ Eisi (Rust 1960 DNW 29), and means 'Hasslich', at Gordon 'ugly', cf. Keisie. Translating with 'bad pits'. Krenz FK 1976 Farmer believes that we can also think of ǀǀ gei = weak. 'It can if it shows poorly ǀǀ is poor', d.w.s. 'Weak pits'. These ǀǀ Gei then possibly join the mountain dam for 'Sich houses' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 106).

n Heel interessante afieiding, aangesien die oogfilologiese vereenselwiging van Gei- met Nama gei [kai] = groot horn aandien en eintlik patroonmatig is. Die tsaub = puts, ook bron, fontein. Hier is die lid gei egter soos Nama ǀ ǀgeise, geglottaliseer ook ǀǀeisi (Rust 1960 DNW 29), en beteken 'hasslich', by Gordon 'lelik', vgl. KEISIE. Te vertaal met 'Slegteputs'. Krenz FK 1976 Boer meen dat ons ook kan dink aan ǀǀgei = swak. 'Dit kan as dit swak ver- toon ǀǀgei = swak wees', d.w.s. 'Swakputs'. Hierdie ǀǀgei sluit dan moontlik aan by die Bergdamawoord vir 'sich verbergen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 106).
