MREN (Krem)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A reputedly deep shaft (note 1) or pothole, which once had served or, perhaps, still serves as well-tested natural dungeon, was eventually found to be comparatively larger and deeper and had been recorded in a legend (Anonymous 2015.04.03 Mss: Diary 2015.docx 6th February 2015 Friday).ETYMOLOGY: The cave called Krem Mren (note 2) or Krem Maren (Kharpran Daly, B D 2002.03.13 Mss: Krem Mren) was said to be named after women called Ren whose name, if read allegorically, can be interpreted to reveal a -ma- or comparatively abominable (note 3) -ren- or monster (note 4). SITUATION 2015.02.06: On the other side of the area (Anonymous [Arbenz T, Brooks S J et al.] 2015.04.03 Mss: Diary 2015.docx 6th February 2015 (Friday). SITUATION 2002.03.13: Somewhere in the vicinity of a certain village of Moonalp (Kharpran Daly, B D 2002.03.13 Mss: Krem Mren) or, more likely, Mooriap (25°26'30”N: 92°34'E), which had been suspected to lie either near Jalaphet (note 5) or near Pala (note 6). CULTURAL HSTORY - human use: Human body disposal, either dead or alive: There lived a woman named Ren who roamed and lived in the woods. She would eat of the wild berries and fruits growing in the forest with the bears and khungs [note 7] who would not harm her as they were too scared of her [note 8]. To supplement her diet and in times of scarcity of food in the jungle, she would very often break into the village huts and eat whatever food there was in the kitchen. This continued on a regular basis which enraged the villagers to find their kitchens raided and robbed of whatever meagre food they had. So one day they lay in wait and captured her. As they were adverse to the idea of killing her, they bound her hands and feet and threw her into a cave. But she managed to escape and start tormenting the villagers again. They caught her again, bound her hands and feet and threw her into another cave. Again she escaped. This went on for a couple of times. Finally the villagers threw her into a deep saft from which she could not escape. Since then nothing more was heard of her. This cave is now known as Krem Mren or Krem Maren (Kharpran Daly, B D 2002.03.13 Mss: Krem Mren).STORY - human use: Human body disposal, either dead or alive: There lived a woman named Ren who roamed and lived in the woods.
