THEP MAWBAH (Krem)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Angeline [Angeline Kharkongor] showed us three more sandstone boulder sinkholes [note 1] … (Jarratt 2003 Mss: Meghalaya Cave Log: 2/3/03). ETYMOLOGY: This boulder sinkhole (Jarratt 2003.03.02) seems to be rather a -thliew- than a -krem- and we have been told that Thepuit was named by the locals on the spot (Jarratt 2003.03.02 Mss: Meghalaya Cave Log 2003: 2/3/03) but we can safely assume (see –>cultural history below) that one of those the locals (see –>exploration history below) rather combined the Khasi verbs -thep- and -puid- (note 2). Civilized people treat dead bodies with awe. Jarratt (2003.03.02 Mss -Cave Log 2003- entry 2/3/03) decided that Thepuit (sic!) is rubbish (note 3). SITUATION: Within a few minutes of the Resort (note 4) and from Bret Bsien (snakes) (i.e. –>Bred Bseiñ) in an unidentified direction only 4 m away (Jarratt 2003.03.02 Mss -Cave Log 2003- entry 2/3/03) or, to be precise, at an unknown location in an unspecified setting and in an unidentified spatial relatin to the solitary GPS position, which Jarratt (2003.03.02 Mss -Cave Log 2003- entry 2/3/03) recorded not only with an interesting precision error of ±18 m but also collectively for the eight distinct cave entrances of Krem –>Bred Bseiñ, the five distinct caves at the –>Riat Kroh, Krem Thep Puid, and the so-called Krem –>Wah Rit. Thus, the whole lot of these eight distinct cave entrances are said to occupy one and the same place and space. This is possibly not the case. CULTURAL HISTORY - cave legend: There is a story that a woman from Nongjathang [note 5] was murdered and dismembered about a 100 years ago and that her head was deposited [note 6] in this cave (Jarratt 2003 Mss: Meghalaya Cave Log 2003: 2/3/03). Little doubt remains that a quick and easy glance in thrall to stupefying liquids can mislead to a credulous believe according to which locals throw rubbish in Thepuit (Jarratt 2003 Mss -Cave Log 2003- entry 2/3/03).Angeline [Angeline Kharkongor] showed us three more sandstone boulder sinkholes [note 1] … (Jarratt 2003 Mss: Meghalaya Cave Log: 2/3/03).
