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 a cave (Smart, C M 2013.03.11 -The definitive list of the caves of Syndai- after G. Parleyfort Pamthied, Syndai). IDENTITY: Unknown. Compare Krem –>Amkari (BAZELY 1992) and Krem –>Amlari (note 1). ETYMOLOGY: The Amwi Khasi cave name -Krem Amkari- probably denotes a Cave [on the] Simul Tree Ground's Stream (note 2). On the other hand, both Amka or Amla + ri, rieh or rih would denote a stream called after a kind of hiding or the malarial fever (note 3).TRANSLATION: Cave name from teacher in Syndai (Mr G Parleyfort): Krem Amkari, Cave of the stream channel - which changes its shape over 2-3 years (Smart, C M 2013.03.11 Mss: The definitive list of the caves of Syndai). This translation, however, is rather a description of the distinctive nature of the -am- or stream than a translation of the cave names -Krem Amkari- and Krem –> Amlai. SITUATION: Unknown but listed as the first of the caves listed in The definitive list to end all lists of the caves of Syndai (Smart 2013.03.11 email) resulting from an interview with a village school teacher at Syndai.
