DUM, Jyllang (Krem)

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 called Krem Dom [sic! qua: Krem Dum or Krem Dam], another relic cave and above a dry waterfall (Anonymous 2012.03.10 Mss: Meghalaya 2012 Team 2 Diary, entry for Sunday 19th February 2012) or Krem Dom [sic!], … a single chamber relic cave with many speleothems (Anonymous 2012.03.10 Mss: Meghalaya 2012 Team 2 Diary, entry for: Tuesday 21st February 2012). ETYMOLOGY: The recorded cave name -Krem Dom- (Anonymous 2012.03.10 Mss: Meghalaya 2012 Team 2 Diary) is very unlikely (note 1) as this cave is probably rather known as a Dark Cave or -Krem Dum- than a Fisherman's Cave (note 2) or -Krem Dam“ in the sense of the Dark Cave or Obliterated Cave (note 3). SITUATION: In an unknown setting -- probably in the Khasimara River basin -- and above a dry waterfall (Anonymous 2012.03.10 Mss: Meghalaya 2012 Team 2 Diary) in an unidentifed location, which was understood to lie at an estimated walking distance of just over an hour to the North East from a certain Jyllang Village (note 4) and not only somewhere above a so-called tributary valley (The Remblang Area) -- which flows in an unidentified direction to join an unidentified bank of an unidentified river -- but also in unidentified spatial relations to the other three cave entrances (Krem –>Blang a.k.a Remblang; Krem –>Um, Jylliang No. 1, the spring, and Krem –>Um, Jylliang No. 2, the sink) in the same vicinity.
