Oernoep(Rivier)
The 'Oernoep River' flows from the southwest the Orenian River. In th a ** 1089, we have the name Uranoep, Oernoep, Orieno0p T.O.v. The first member connects with Namaǃ Uri = 'White'. Topographic support for this statement now we find in that the 'white-running river' north of the mouth of the Uernoep River in the orange water, but now from the northeast. The Witloth River is therefore in South West Africa, the Unoep River in the Cape Province. The 'white' in the names probably relate to the condition of the bottom; A farm north of the Witlop River, bears the name 'white pit'. Whether the second member of each of the river names has a mortgage, ni.a.w. OR '-NoOp' has a mortgage with 'run', we do not know.

Die 'Oernoeprivier' vloei vanuit die suidweste die Orenjerivier binne. In TH A** 1089 het ons die naam URANOEP, OERNOEP, ORIENO0P t.o.v. die eerste lid verbind met Nama ǃuri = 'wit'. Topografiese steun vir hierdie verklaring vind ons nou daarin dat die 'Witlooprivier' ten noorde van die mond van die Oernoeprivier in die Oranje uitwater, maar nou vanuit die noordooste. Die Witlooprivier is dus in Suidwes-Afrika, die Oernoeprivier in die Kaapprovinsie. Die 'Wit-' in die name het waarskyn- lik betrekking op die gesteldheid van die bodem; ’n plaas noord van die Witlooprivier, dra die naam 'Witputs'. Of die tweede lid van elk van die riviername met mekaar 'n verband het, ni.a.w. of '-noep' 'n verband het met '-loop', weet ons nie.
