Abstract: The main result of this article is that pure orbifold braid groups fit into an exact sequence

1 i g h t a r r o w K i g h t a r r o w p i_{1}^{o r b} (S i g m a_{G} a m m a (n - 1 + L)) x r i g h t a r r o w i o t a_{e x t r m {P Z}_{n}} e x t r m {P Z}_{n} (S i g m a_{G} a m m a (L)) x r i g h t a r r o w p i_{e x t r m {P Z}_{n}} e x t r m {P Z}_{n - 1} (S i g m a_{G} a m m a (L)) i g h t a r r o w 1.

In particular, we observe that the kernel

K

of

i o t a_{e x t r m {P Z}_{n}}

is non-trivial. This corrects Theorem 2.14 in [12](arXiv:2006.07106). Moreover, we use the presentation of the pure orbifold mapping class group

e x t r m {P M a p}_{n}^{e x t r m i d, o r b} (S i g m a_{G} a m m a (L))

from [8] to determine

K

. Comparing these orbifold mapping class groups with the orbifold braid groups, reveals a surprising behavior: in contrast to the classical case, the orbifold braid group is a proper quotient of the orbifold mapping class group. This yields a presentation of the pure orbifold braid group which allows us to read off the kernel

K

.
