Auǁgams
Stooting point on pulling road in Kaokoland, just seek the SechomIb River. The ǀǀ gam- = water, the -s say it can be a source or a well. Hartmann does not write suction flap before the first member, as he does faithfully where it is heard, so that the o- be quite certainly translated with 'bitter' (Nama old, cf. Rest 1960 DNW 11), So 'bitter pits', 'Bitterwater'.

Description
eng
Stooting point on pulling road in Kaokoland, just seek the SechomIb River. The ǀǀ gam- = water, the -s say it can be a source or a well. Hartmann does not write suction flap before the first member, as he does faithfully where it is heard, so that the o- be quite certainly translated with 'bitter' (Nama old, cf. Rest 1960 DNW 11), So 'bitter pits', 'Bitterwater'.
afr
Knooppunt aan trekpad in Kaokoland, net besuide die Sechomibrivier. Die ǀǀgam- = water, die -s se dat dit ’n bron of ’n puts kan wees. Hartmann skryf geen suigklap voor die eerste lid nie, soos hy getrou doen waar dit wel gehoor word, sodat die O- taamlik seker te vertaal is met 'bitter' (Nama ou, vgl. Rust 1960 DNW 11), dus 'Bitterputs', 'Bitterwater'.
