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 what unacknowledged people reported as a reputedly long cave where reconnoitering sports cavers found a series of well fluted entrances in rock filled by flood debris and a sandfilled depression in bed of stream (Harper, Rob 2001 February Mss -Krem Umshai- undated; Harper, Rob 2002.04.31 Mss -megahlay.doc- entry 23). ETYMOLOGY: The Khasi noun -ka shâi- is the light (OLDHAM, T 1854 / 1984 appendix C: lxx) and the verb -shâi- means to shine (OLDHAM, T 1854 / 1984 appendix C: lxv) or to become clear, to become light (SINGH, N 1906: 189) but the expression -um shah- means not at all (OLDHAM, T 1854 / 1984 appendix C: lxx). SITUATION: In a fully unidentified setting and at an unspecified location which was understood to lie in enexplicable spatial relations to each and everything in the whole wide world. APPROACH: Gentlemen fascinated y embarrassing treatment may enjoy being ordered to Follow down hill from Mawlong to river (Rob Harper, undated 2001 February Mss: Krem Umshai).
