KRANG RIAT (Krem)
25.341900,92.505100
Description
What is believed to be called the Undermined Slope's Precipice Cave starts with a circa 3 m pot to circa 40 m of choked streamway (Jarratt 2004.02.10 Mss: Meghalaya Cave Log 2003, vol. XII, 10/2/04), which Quentin -Cooper- Cowper dug through into upstream Krem –>Krang Wah. ETYMOLOGY: The standard Khasi verb -krang- means to bore, to undermine (SINGH, N 1906: 46) and we can safely assume that the sloping area of Krang (an east-facing basin below the village of Shnongrim) corresponds to something like The Hole-Riddled or even to The Karst. The Khasi -ka riat- is a precipice, a cliff (SINGH, N 1906: 172). Anthony 'Tony' R Jarratt 2004.02.11 Mss: Meghalaya Cave Log 2003, vol. XII, 11/2/04) after information from Raplang (Sukhlain) suggested to translate -Krem Krang Riat- into Upper Sloping Ground Cave. SITUATION: Immediately below the camp at GPS location 25°20'31- - 92°30'18.5' [note 1] followed by another [Krem –>Krang Wah] adjacent at 25°20'30.3 - 92°30'18.8- (Garmin Etex, WGS84, acc. 10).ex, WGS84, acc. 10).
