Ka synshar ka khadar maka: ka sngap ka sngew maka: ka pyrkhat ka pynbeit maka: ka ai bam ka ai dih maka: ka sumar ka sukher maka: ka ri ka dup maka: ka lum ka kynshew maka ia ka kamai ka kajih baroh, kaba kamai u tnga, lane ki hynmen ki para lane ki khun ki ksiew baroh: bad ka bat bad ka pyndep pynbiang maka ia ki niam ki rukom baroh kiba dei ia kata ka iieng. Kumba ki Khasi ki khein jait khein kur na ka kynthei, kumta ruh ki seng ia kiei kiei baroh kiba iadei bad ka jinglong jingim jong ki ha kane ka nongrim. Ki seng ia ka iing ha ka kynthei, ki seng ia ka niam ha ka kynthei bad ki seng ia ka raid ka hima ruh ha ka kynthei” (Ka Niam Khasi 1937, sla-191, da u Homiwell Lyngdoh).
Kane ka dustur ai-jait kmie ai-jait kynthei ka la pynjyllei ia ki Ksew-kynther-slap hapoh kane ka jaitbynriew. Kine ki ksew kynther-slap ki la jyllei ha Motphran, ha Iewduh, bad ki kynthei jong ngi ki la long kita ki nongri ki nongkdup bad ai-ja ai-dohkha, ai-jaka-rieh ai-jaka-dem ia kitei ki ksew kynther-slap. Hadien katto katne snem ba ki la ri ia ki, kine ki ksew kynther-slap, ki dait ia ki nongri nongkdup haduh ba ki la mong lut ka met ka phad bad kit khohkadun na ki da ki phew hajar ngut kiba la nangpynlyngkien ia kine ki ksew kynter-slap hapoh ka bri u Hynniewtrep. Ialade pat ruh ki kylla ksew kynther-slap, rynjiw rynjiw rynjaw rynjaw, bad ki wiar pynheh sur ha ki Suriohidur (Television), bad la paw pen ryngkew ha ki Kortimat (Computer), ki Napdiah (Mobile) jong ka pyrthei hi baroh kawei. Ki jlaw kyrthat-iap ha man la ki jaka ba ki shong para-ksew kynther-slap bad ki byrngem ban dait lamwir kat ia kiba iaid ba ieng ha lynti syngkien.
Ka Khasi Social Custom of Lineage Bill (Second Amendment Bill) 2018 ka dei kawei na ki badonkam tam jong kane ka Juk ban beh krad ia ki ksew kynther-slap na ka bri u Hynniewtrep u Hynniewskum. Ki la don bun ngut ki kynthei jong ngi kiba kren pyneh ryndang bad la jan mih sa ki phyllew khmat shabar ba ki iania ban pyrshah ia ka Second Amendment Bill 2018 jong ka KHADC. Ki kren koppia ba kin challenge ia ka KHADC ba ki kloi ban iada ia kata ka Dustur Ai-jait Kynthei (Ai-jait kmie), haba ialade ruh kim tip ba ki dei na ka jaitbynriew aiu! Ka surname te Khasi Khara, ka Engine pat na Bihar, na West Bengal, na Nepal, na Punjab (kharmetor), na China, na Bangladesh, na Delhi, bad na kiwei kiwei ki ri jong ka pyrthei. Kumta, kitei kim kwah ban duh ia ka bor jinglong kynrad kumba la thoh ha ka kot ka Niam Khasi 1937 da u Homiwell Lyngdoh. Ha ka por ba draft ia ka Khasi Social Custom of Lineage Bill 1997 u la don u rangbah Seng Khasi uba la long Chairman ban tynruh ban pynlong ia katei ka Bill bad ka la long ain ha u snem 2005. Uta u briew uba la long u Chairman u la long uba shim jait sha lade ia ki khun. U nongthoh u la iania bad utei u chairman ha u snem 1993 ha ki kot khubor jong ka ri da ki jynthoh. Ka jingiatyrkonia ka la long kaba khluit bha ha katei ka snem. Kumta, ka KHADC kam dei ban khot ia kum kitei ki rangbah na ka Seng Khasi ban ioh jingmynjur halor ka Second Amendment Bill 2018 jong ka Khasi Social Custom of Lineage, ba kum kitei ki rangbah ki sa nangpynjyllei shuh shuh ia ki ksew kynther-slap hapoh ka jaitbynriew Hynniewtrep namar ki jingmut jong ki ki long kiba lynshing shibun eh. “Ki dang kwah thung phan bad khmihlynti pat ban mih da ka shriew.”
Ha kine ki bnai ba la dep ka la don ka jingialang jong ka Seng Khihlang ha ri Pnar ha kaba uwei na ki nongkitkam jong ka, u la kynthoh tyngeh “ba dei ban pynshitom ia kito ki rangbah Hynniewtrep kiba shongkurim ia ki kynthei Hynniewtrep bad kiba shimjait shalade.” Hynrei tang hadien ar ne lai bnai la paw pynban ha ki kot khubor ba i shah shim action pynban ialade bajlaw tyngka iohei. La thad madan madiah ia ka jinglong ‘khasaitpohji’ jong u ha ki kot khubor jong ka jylla baroh kawei. Kum kine ki jaitbriew kiba dang iai-kwah ban pynksan ba ka kynthei kan nangsynshar ia ka rympei, ia ka raid, ka hima, ia ka niam bad ter ter. Kumta, ha kane ka juk, ki paw penryngkew lut ki jingleh jingkam jong kata ka dustur basniew (Is 14:29), ba ki briew jong ngi kiba long khristan ruh ki mane-blei ia ka dustur (Mk 7:7-8, 13).
Ka Seng STIEH kaba dei kawei na ki kynhun ba la kyllur da ki kynthei, ki la sngewthuh bha ia kane ka jingmut “ksew kynther-slap.” Kumta, ki la kyrshan ia ka “Khasi Social Custom of Lineage Bill (Second Amendment) 2018.
