The imaginable subaquaeous (breath-taking, inaccessible) home of the attractive Dombe, a Garo damsel who chose to become a kind of mermaid or catfish (cat fish, cat-fish), is probably rather a pool of water, perhaps a stilling basin (stilling pool, in German: Tosbecken), than a cave behind a waterfall. ETYMOLOGY: The Garo noun -wari- (not listed by MASON, M C 1905: English - Garo dictionary) apparently synonymous with the Bengali -bil- (note 1) or -beel- (note 2), seems to mean something along the lines of a shallow pool of water or morass (note 3). So far, I stumbled across Dombe Wari as Dombe Wari, a famous lake (india9.com accessed 2012.04.20) Dombe Wari … important cave (note 4) Dombe Wari, the legendary lake (garohills.org/e_place.html accessed 2012.04.20) Dombe Wari natural lake (megpolice.gov.in/SGH/infosgh.htm accessed 2012.04.20) Dombe Wari waterfalls (traveller.outlookindia.com accessed 2012.04.20).
