Sakolka
First read what is at our Qora. It will be seen that Qora, this Qora, namely (because there is still the current Qora), the name of the river 'Now Known as The Bushman River, Albany District' (Pettman), which runs in the sea on the border between the Districts Alexandria and Bathurst. Then it seems that the first member is understanding as SA-N = 'Bushmen' (Comm. Pi. Of SA-B). Then the last member -ka is the ordinary old-Cape form for 'river', corresponding to the defvelarized nama shapeǃ (K) A-b. The middle member - is still unclear to us. However, inevitably seems to be that this 'Bushmans River' that is made up on K 3326 DA is already preserved for us by Beutler.

Forbes 1965 PTSA 19 'This is unlikely to have been any stream other than the Qora...It is perhaps possible that the first part of this word Sa- is a corruption of the possessive concord, while the latter portion -kolka is an attempt at rendering the click and following sound of the name now spelt Qora'.

Eers te lees wat by ons QORA staan. Daar sal gesien word dat Qora, hierdie Qora naamlik (want daar is nog die huidige Qora), die naam van die rivier 'now known as the Bushman River, Albany district' (Pettman), wat in die see loop op die grens tussen die distrikte Alexandria en Bathurst. Dan lyk dit tog of die eerste lid Sa- te verstaan is as Sa-n = 'Boesmans' (comm. pi. van Sa-b). Dan is die laaste lid -ka wel die gewone Ou-Kaapse vorm vir 'rivier', ooreenstemmend met die gedevelariseerde Namavorm ǃ(k)a-b. Die middelste lid -kol- is vir ons nog onduidelik. Wel onvermydelik skyn die gevolgtrekking te wees dat hierdie 'Boesmansrivier' wat uitmond op K 3326 DA die vertaling van die ou Khoekhoense naam is, reeds deur Beutler vir ons bewaar.
