Omeyantalala

 * The name Omeyantalala means cold water.
 * the village name was driven from a long pan covering 4 km and it holds rainwater for the livestock and for human use during dry seasons.
 * the pan was and is still used as water point for farmers going to look for graze-land in the far north side of Kavango.
