‡Âus

- Grewia cf. flava, raisin bush -

The ‡âus occurs as a shrub or small tree, and is widely distributed throughout Etosha. The berries (‡âun) are much-liked by the Hai||om for their sweet taste; they ripen after the rainy season, and are most plentiful from mid-April to mid-June. The wood of the ‡âus is strong and flexible, and its branches are still used to make baskets; in former times, the wood was used for bows and arrow shafts.
