Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to an estimated 15 m long relic cave passage (on average, 2.5 m wide and 3.5 m high), which is abandoned by flowing water and characterised by unidentified peculiarities (Tyler 2001.05.25 Mss: Krem Nianglabeit). ETYMOLOGY: At the current state of cave tourism in search of recreational adventure, the meaning of the Khasi cave name -Krem Nianglabeit- has not yet been discovered (note 1). Literally translated, however, -nianglabeit- may mean perpendicular bug and this seems to be as good a terminology as snot-gobbler or better (note 2). SITUATION: Both of the two Nianglabeit cave entrances were understood to lie in the same valley (unidentified name) about 500 m south from a village called after the -Hair Stream- or Umniuh (note 3) and Umnuih (Tyler 2001.05.25 Mss) and at an unspecified location (note 4) somewhere on the south-east sideof the road from Pynursla (I.B. N25°18'33”: E091°53'51”: 1505 m asl WGS84) generally south-west to Nongri (N25°11'28”: E091°47'38: circa 350 m asl WGS84) and Nongjri Bazar (N25°10'45”: E091°48'18”: 80 m asl WGS84).An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to an estimated 15 m long relic cave passage (on average, 2.5 m wide and 3.5 m high), which is abandoned by flowing water and characterised by unidentified peculiarities (Tyler 2001.05.25 Mss: Krem Nianglabeit).
