The Strange Adventures of Andrew Battell, of Leigh, in Angola and the Adjoining Regions
Battell, Andrew
Angola -- Discovery and exploration; Congo (Democratic Republic) -- Discovery and exploration
+Oloe+, a river, which on the map of D. Lopez, flows past S. Salvador,
and enters the Lilunda (Lunda)—an impossibility. The river flowing
past S. Salvador is the Luezi.
+Onzo+, or Ozoni (D. Lopez), 8.2 S., 13.3 E.
+Orta+, Garcia d’, quoted, 119
+Ostrich eggs+, beads, 31. Mr. Hobley suggests to me that these may
merely be discs cut out of the shell of ostrich eggs and then
perforated, such as he saw used as ornaments in Kavirondo.
+Ouuando+, seems to be a region to the N. of Encoge and the river
Loje. Rebello de Aragão, p. 20, calls it _Oombo_ (Wumbo) and says
the copper mines of Mpemba are situated within it. J. C. Carneiro
(_An. do cons. ultr_, ii, 1861, p. 172) says that the proper name
is _Uhamba_ (pronounced Wamba) _or_ Ubamba. Dapper calls it
_Oando_ (pronounced Wando). Rev. Thos. Lewis tells me that the
natives pronounce d, b, and v quite indistinctly, and suggests
_Wembo_. He rejects _Ubamba_ as a synonym. From all this we may
accept Wembo, Wandu, or Wanbo as synonymous. _See_ Wembo.
+Oulanga.+ _See_ Wanga.
+Outeiro+, the “Hill,” a vulgar designation of S. Salvador.

(Cavazzi, 42, 781, 793).
