Description
A cave (and sink?) where one can walk freely inside is said to situated somewhere in the vicinity of the Jaintia Cement Works, and on the western slope of the Shnongrim Ridge, but has not yet been identified. ETYMOLOGY: The meaning and origin of the cave name Krem Paswar (Jarratt 2003) is still unheared of but may be related to the standard Khasi verbs -[kren] paswia- (to whizz) and -[kren] pasiaw- (to whisper). CULTURAL HISTORY - cave legend: According to Raplang Shangpliang (2003 February, personal communication) … the old king (dolloi) of Shnongrim, still alive in 2003, says the water from here resurges at Wah Shikar -- doubtful (Jarratt 2003.02.19 Mss: Cave Log 2003: 19/2/03; Jarratt 2003.03.25 personal correspondence).
