25.210400,92.373300
Description
An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) was believed to give access to an unidentified but, in one way or another, somehow larger waterfall and cave (anonymous, apparently Fraser E. Simpson from Edinburgh, in: Brooks, Simon J 2005.02.26 Mss: Meghalaya Diary.doc). IDENTITY: Unknown. Possibly the same as Krem –>Ur Blang or, perhaps, Synrang –>Myrhu. ETYMOLOGY: The origin and meaning of what was recorded as Synrang Ur Ban (anonymous Simpson, Fraser E in: Brooks, S J 2005.02.26 Mss) remains obviously obscured in the realm of thick fog dubbed -abode of the clouds- but may translate, though this is mere guesswork, as [inhabitable] Cave [with that Water] Reservoir [which had] Collapsed with a Rambling Noise (note 1). SITUATION: Unknown. Simon J Brooks (2005.02.26 Mss: Meghalaya Diary.doc) points out that the cave entrance to this Krem Ur Ban lies at an unidentified location somewhere on a stream (sic!)with an unidentified name and at a distance of half an hour on foot (some 2 km or 3 km) in an unspecified direction from what had been in February 2005 a certain the first tea shop at spot with an unidentified GPS position in the village of Nongthymme (note 3), which itself was known to lie in an inexplicable spatial relation near Cheruphi (note 4).with an unidentified name and at a distance of half an hour on foot (some 2 km or 3 km) in an unspecified direction from what had been in February 2005 a certain the first tea shop at spot with an unidentified GPS position in the village of Nongthymme (note 3), which itself was known to lie in an inexplicable spatial relation near Cheruphi (note 4).
