Chouchoreb, Xouxoreb
Where the Grootfish River above Nomtsas makes its large elbow from west to east and then rotates south, at its bolope, is a number of side bags and sprouts.

Waar die Grootvisrivier bokant Nomtsas sy groot elmboog maak van wes na oos en dan suid draai, aan sy boloop, is ’n aantal sytakkies en spruite. Hahn noem hierdie een wat suid van Nomtsas die Oub vind, die Xouxoreb-'River'. Geen suigkonsonante nie, sodat die naam volgens hom duidelik te vertaal is, vir die eerste lid xou-, [xau-] as 'mis, ekskrement', en vir die tweede as (so meen ons) xore = 'losen, losmachen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 47), so ongeveer die 'Plek (-b) waar die uitwerpsel of mis gelos word', kortweg 'Misplek', oorgedra op die riviertjie, daarom dat dit met die -b lokativeer.
