Dus net Wes van die Gamtoosrivier, en besuide Beervallei, vandag Beervlei. In Ou-Kaaps is 'ribbok' opgeteken as o.a. saa, in die Oostelike Provinsie as za, in Kora as zan-s wat aansluit by Nama sa-b: die nasale stamvokaal is in die pleknaam gerealiseer as -n- in Sa(a)n- (vgl. HOTT 428). Die -see is wel soos die adj. part, -si van Nama, Saansee beteken dan soveel as 'Die ribbok-like plek', hier 'kloof’, kortweg 'Ribbokkloof’. Graadvierkant van Paardepoort (ook geskryf Perdepoort) geneem, volgens vasstelling van Forbes.
