KAIMEN FROM FOUNDER CAVE

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An apparently artificial and only accidentally opened cave entrance or sinkhole gives access to cave in the interior of which Andrew -Andy- Peter Tyler (Bristol Exploration Club) discovered a cave passage that ends or contains potentially suffocating water. ETYMOLOGY: No autochthonous, indigenous or locally known name has been identified (Tyler 2001.05.11 Mss) for what a foreigner disguised as an almost Khasi sounding Krem Kaimen From Founder (note 1) due to an inexplicable relation to a founder or, perhaps, flounder (note 2). SITUATION: In an unidentified setting at an unspecified location (note 3) at a self-centred person's left side (facing an unidentified direction) of what had been in 1999 a relatively new quarry (no age mentioned). Cfr. Krem –>Malo 2: APPROACH: To find the entrance to this cave, suggests (literally quoted): From the Soil Conservation I.B. [note 4] at Lumshnong take the first quarry below on the left at the bridge, on the left of the active quarry water can be een pouring into the hole (Tyler 2001.05.11 Mss). DEVICE DESCRIPTION 2001a: From where the water goes in at the entrance 1x1.5 a 3 m climb down is necessary here the cave meanders 5-7x1x50m through water and sand floowing the right wall with rocks to the left. The stream enters a pool, to the left the passage ends in a [sic! qua: leads to the beginning of an unexplored] dry crawl (Tyler 2001.05.11 Mss). CAVE DESCRIPTION 2001b: A 3 m climb down the entrance (1 m by 1.5 m wide) leads to a wet and sandy meandering passage (50 m long, on average 5 mto 7 m wide and 1 m high) with fallen boulders on a self-centred person's left-hand side wall (facing an unidentified direction) and a stream along the same or another self-centred persons right-hand side wall. The stream sinks in a pool / sump and the passage ahead continues as a dry crawl (after Tyler 2001.10.11 personal correspondence). CAVE POTENTIAL: Unknown or, if you prefer a quick and easy judgement, none (Tyler 2001.10.11 personal corespondence). Compare Krem –>Malo 2.een pouring into the hole (Tyler 2001.05.11 Mss).
