Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified closed depression (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified characteristics) in what probably is Lakadong Sandstone was said to give access to a speleologically unexplored and allegedly short but unidentified cave in what probably is Lakadong Limestone. ETYMOLOGY: No autochthonous, indigenous or locally known name has been identified for this Lakadong Khasi -krang- or cave which, though not seen at all, was straightforward done away with as if it were only a short cave (anonymous Arbenz, T in: anonymous Brooks, S J et al. 2014.04.05 Mss: Diary Meghalaya 2014 Second Edit: 25th February, Tuesday). SITUATION: In an unspecified setting at an unidentified location on the Lakadong - Umlatdoh Plateau and in an unspecified spatial relation near the village well of a populated place referred to as Lakadong/Ummat (anonymous Arbenz, T in: anonymous Brooks, S J et al. 2014.04.05 Mss: Diary Meghalaya 2014 Second Edit: 25th February, Tuesday).
