Khuigams
This water place, northeast of Namutoni, is T.O.V. The first 'member difficult to explain. Dr Hartmann writes here the suction medicine, viz. Before the second component, so we know ǀǀ Gam-S = 'Water' (Nama ǀǀ Gammi = water; The -s of ǀǀ Gams is the sign of the VR. Ekv. And locates here too water location). But the first component has no Schnalz at Hartmann, and is therefore perhaps appreciated if Khui = 'in the Ershinung Treten, Auftauchen, Sich in the Richten' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 251). Khui ǀǀ Gams is Then about the 'place (-s) where the water (ǀǀ gam) becomes visible / pitching / throughout (khui)'.

Description

This water place, northeast of Namutoni, is T.O.V. The first 'member difficult to explain. Dr Hartmann writes here the suction medicine, viz. Before the second component, so we know ǀǀ Gam-S = 'Water' (Nama ǀǀ Gammi = water; The -s of ǀǀ Gams is the sign of the VR. Ekv. And locates here too water location). But the first component has no Schnalz at Hartmann, and is therefore perhaps appreciated if Khui = 'in the Ershinung Treten, Auftauchen, Sich in the Richten' (Kr.- R. 1969 NW 251). Khui ǀǀ Gams is Then about the 'place (-s) where the water (ǀǀ gam) becomes visible / pitching / throughout (khui)'.

Hierdie waterplek, noordoostelik van Namutoni, is t.o.v. die eerste' lid moeilik te verklaar. Dr Hartmann skryf hier die suigmedeklinkers, nl. voor die tweede komponent, sodat ons seker weet dat ǀǀgam-s = 'waterplek' (Nama ǀǀgammi = water; die -s van ǀǀgams is die teken van die vr. ekv. en lokativeer hier wel ook ’n waterplek). Maar die eerste komponent het by Hartmann geen schnalz nie, en is daarom miskien te waardeer as khui = 'in die Erscheinung treten, auftauchen, sich in die Hohe richten' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 251). Khuiǀǀgams is dan so ongeveer die 'Plek ( -s) waar die water (ǀǀgam-) sigbaar word/opslaan/deursyfer (khui)'.
