Lacarvi Shaft 1

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A vertical cave entrance with unidentified dimensions and unspecified characteristics, which seems to drain a seasonal water course from one doline appears to give access to what was identified as shaft (anonymous Brooks, S J 2010.02.14 Mss: Krem Lacarvi 1). ETYMOLOGY: The origin, historical development and meaning of the word -Lacarvi- (note 1) is obscured in the Abode of Fog (Brooks, S J anonymous 2010.02.14 Mss: Krem Lacarvi 1). Without any doubt, however, -Lacarvi- is not a Khasi word. Perhaps, but this is mere guesswork, the immigrants were actually told about -sla kiar mi- or spreading creeper [plant] leafs (note 2). SITUATION: The cave entrance to the first shaft called Lacarvi (or so) lies at an unspecified the end of an unspecified doline in what had been in February 2010 a short-lived clearing with cut downe banana plants (note 3!) and at a linear distance of 8 m in an unidentified direction from what had been in February 2010 a banana plant (sic!) but also adjacent (withoutidentified direction) to an unspecified dead rotting ivey [sic! qua: ivy] covered tree [note 4] (anonymous Brooks, S J 2010.02.14 Mss: Krem Lacarvi 1).CAVE DESCRIPTION: Shaft (anonymous Brooks, S J 2010.02.14 Mss: Krem Lacarvi 1). DEVICE DESCRIPTION: 20 m shaft into down-sloping passage (ongoing but too tight) with little water flow (ARBENZ, T 2012: 237).A vertical cave entrance with unidentified dimensions and unspecified characteristics, which seems to drain a seasonal water course from one doline appears to give access to what was identified as shaft (anonymous Brooks, S J 2010.02.14 Mss: Krem Lacarvi 1).
