Soah Raha

•  the four kampongs of the main village of Sawu.de vier kampongs der hoofdnegorij Sawoe.

Note: N.B. How imprudent it can be to explain the derivation of words without knowing the language is apparent from the essay of Teijsmann on Halmahera, p. 506, where Soah konorah is explained as swako (village) and norah (middle)!
