A reputedly deep pothole or vertical cave (Nokin Dkhar, Shongpnar / Shnongpnar 2001.02.06 personal communication). ETYMOLOGY: Unknown. The origin, history and meaning of the Synteng Khasi (Pnar) cave name Krem Jri Sohkut or, perhaps, Krem Diengjri Sohkut (note 1) has not yet been identified. It seems to refer to a -krem- (cave) associated with a finished fig (note 2). SITUATION: Unknown. At an unspecified location (without known whereabouts) somewhere in the vicinity of the village called not only Hadem but also Thlangmoi (note 3), which lies south of a certain -Shongpnar- (note 4), which itself was said to lie somewhere on the Shnongrim ridge.A reputedly deep pothole or vertical cave (Nokin Dkhar, Shongpnar / Shnongpnar 2001.02.06 personal communication).
