Orange (word) "n" earlier. The place name "Orange" has a separate etymology. The Roman-Celtic settlement was founded in 36 or 35 BC and originally named Arausio, after a Celtic water god.

Comparison of Afrikaans and Dutch languages, a member of a council or councillor is "raadslid". Whereas Dutch uses an apostrophe with an "s" as in English to form the genitive, or alternatively an "s" without an apostrophe, Afrikaans uses "se", hence "Maria's huis" and "haar broers probleem" would be "Maria se huis" and "haar broer se probleem" respectively. Afrikaans, like Dutch, has possessive pronouns to indicate ownership, hence "joune" and "jouwe", although Afrikaans omits the use of the definite article, hence "is dit jou glas of syne?" ("is that your glass or his?") in contrast to "is dat jouw glas of het zijne?" in Dutch.
