Holt B 1959 PNTT 15 neem Pettman se verklaring oor. Die Bantoenaam Qora kan getranslitereer word as ǃ(K)ora, of aangepas soos by Kirby (ǃKoxa). Ook Gordon bring dit in verband met 'grond' (Nama ǃgu-, Kora ǃku-), anders sou klankmatig eerder ingepas het ǃkho- = tabakspyp, en met die uitgang vir 'rivier' sou dit 'Pyprivier' geheet het, vgl. opgawe 1877. Ander wisselvorme is SAKOlKA en Ghio (Skead CJ 1973 Gazetteer 17). Die een en ander is nog onopgeklaar.
