afr Sendelinge Rath en Hornemann is per ossewa op pad na die Kaapkolonie en word voorgekeer en aangehou deur Kido Witbooi van Gibeon. Eerw. Kroenlein gaan die sendelinge bystaan, hy kom van Berseba af. Die plek Orochas is derhalwe tussen Gibeon en Berseba geleë. Ons vind die naam nie meer op ons kaarte terug nie. Die plek moes 'n engte gewees het. Nama ╪oro = 'schmal', m.b.t. 'n ╪ga- vir (i) 'n ingang, (ii) 'Grabwas- serloch, ‘puts'', of 'n 'Bergkranz' (vir almal kyk Kr.-R. 1969 97), met (ii) as die waarskynlikste op hierdie plek. So ongeveer dan die 'Smalputs' of die 'Fontein (-s, fern, sing., soms aanduiding van ’n naam vir ’n fontein of 'n nedersetting/werf ens. daarby) by ’n baie (-xa-, hoeveelheidsinfiks vir volop/ryk aan) smal (=Foro) plek'. Die naam Orochas beskryf of die fontein self (hy is 'smal') of die plek waar hy geleë is.
