Boerrechaaij
Located on the road from the Nahoon River to the Kei (see map of Gordon in Forbes 1965 PTSA 145), in the Bantu area. Forbes that followed the journey from Beutler, believes this is probably the current Bulura (PTS 17), then the old name is adapted to the language of the Bantu, and the old name with its -RR will Khoekhens be (the same sound substitution eg. in kalniga, kalumna etc.) For the meaning of thinking to Boro-B, 'oer earth', or 'Das Schminksteinchen, Auf Demer Puper Zerrieben UND Gelist WIRD' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 39), and -XA (i) = Well provided with, viz. of ochard with which the faces are red and beautiful.

afr
geleë op die pad van die Nahoonrivier na die Kei (kyk kaart van Gordon in Forbes 1965 PTSA 145), in die Bantoegebied. Forbes wat die reis van Beutler op die voet gevolg het, meen dit is waarskynlik die huidige Bulura (PTSA 17), dan is dit wel die ou naam aangepas by die taaleie van die Bantoe, en die ou naam met sy -rr- sal Khoekhoens wees (dieselfde klanksubstitusie bv. in KAlNIGA, KAlUMNA ens.) Vir die betekenis is te dink aan boro-b, 'okeraarde', of 'das Schminksteinchen, auf dem der Puder zerrieben und gemischt wird' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 39), en -xa(i) = wel voorsien van, nl. van okergrond waarmee die gesigte rooi en mooi gemaak word.
