After hitting the Pirusoro on the border river from Fuat, it changes its name to Namaluto. The southern part of the border between Cacavei and Souro forms the river Vahurau. Once the border of Lore I reaches it, it opens into the river Tchino, which then flows along the border to the west and finally empties into the Namaluto.
