Tsaurob, Tsaurab
The first syllable is like Nama Tsau- = puts. If the second syllable is a -ro-b, then understand as the diminutiefformance, so: 'Little pits', with the -B as location. So it is also explained by Dr. Vedder. We have deals. The fact is that the name for the farms in older notes appear as Tsaurab No. 106, and Tsaurab-Ost No. 105, with a -ra-b (not -ro-b), so in the addressiocher and on the owned cartridge. We believe the -ro-B is a maladjustment later. The old name is likely to declare as 'mopane tree', the 'place (-b) where there is mopane trees (tsaura)'. Cfg. about. TSAURAHEIB 1713. If botanically, it is unlikely, then like Nama tsaura- = soft (s) (Rest 1960 DNW 51), D.I. 'Softness', eg. due to sand or humid soil.

Die eerste lettergreep is dan soos Nama tsau- = puts. Indien die tweede lettergreep 'n -ro-b is, dan wel te begryp as die diminutiefformans, dus: 'Kleinputs', met die -b as lokativering. So word dit ook verklaar deur dr Vedder. Ons het bedenkings. Feit is dat die naam vir die plase in ouer optekeninge voorkom as Tsaurab nr 106, en Tsaurab-Ost nr 105, met ’n -ra-b (nie -ro-b) nie, so in die Adressbiicher en op die Besitzkarten. Ons meen dat die -ro-b 'n wanaanpassing is van later. Die ou naam is waarskynlik te verklaar as 'Mopanieboomplek', die 'Plek (-b) waar daar mopaniebome (tsaura-) staan'. Vgl. o.m. TSAURAHEIB 1713. Indien dit botanies onwaarskynlik is, dan soos Nama tsaura- = sag(te) (Rust 1960 DNW 51), d.i. 'Sagteplek', bv. vanweë sand of vogtige bodem.
