Vandag die Vlekpoortrivier. Meer oor die Afrikaanse naam by Du Plessis 1973 Ondersoek 330. Die naam wat Gordon daaraan gegee het (vgl. ook sy kaart nr 3, of nr 15 by Forbes 1965 PTSA) was nie lewensvatbaar nie en is totaal vergete, net soos trouens byna almal wat Gordon op hierdie tog (sy eerste) en vir hierdie omgewing gegee het, behalwe dat sy benoeming van die Grootrivier as Oranjerivier ingeslaan het. Die Khoekhoense naam ken ons in Afrikaans en in Suid-Afrikaanse Engels, daarin onderskeidelik gewoonlik gespel oorbietjie en oribi. Dit kom in ander plekname voor, k ORIBI (FOUNTAINS).
