Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave called Krem Syntem (Kharpran Daly 2001.02.17 personal communication with Hospital Sutnga and Tippor Pala) is said to lie somewhere in the vicinity of Sakhain village (church: N25°18'55.9”: E092°26'13.9”, ±100 m). ETYMOLOGY: I cannot identify the expression -syntem- but the Khasi -syndam- means flat, low, depressed, well beaten while -syndem- is flat-nosed and -syndim- is crouchingly, stealthily. The verb -syndong- means to roll up the clothes as when wading a stream (SINGH, N 1906: 216).
