Hadien ba ka Ri ka la ïoh ïa ka jinglaitluid na ka jingsynshar nongwei, ka la don ka jingkyrmen na ka liang ki nongïalam jong ka Seng Khasi ban dang ïoh shuh shuh ïa ka jingïarap.

Mynba ka Ri ka dang shah synshar ha ki bor nongwei, ka la don ka jingpyrshang ban pynpait pynpra ïa ka jaidbynriew ha ki rukom bapher. Ha kine ki sngi kiba mynta, ngi bynñiaw ban ïohi ïa shibun ki jingkynthoh khamtam ha ki rynsan jong ka ‘social media’ kiba phiah ïa ka jaidbynriew da ka thaiñ ka dong kaba ngi wan, ka ktien ka thylliej kaba ngi kren bad kiwei pat ki bynta. Ki jingbeiñ ki jingkynthoh kiba kum kine kim phalang ïa ka Akor Khasi bad ka jinglong sot synlar ka jaidbynriew. Lada ngi dang dei ban sarong ïa la ka jinglong jaidbynriew ka jong ngi, ngi dei ban tip bad sngewthuh ïa ka nongrim kaba ka jaidbynriew ka ïeng. Namar ngi im ha ka por jong kiba bun ki jingïapher wat la ngi long kawei ka jaidbynriew, ngi donkam namarkata, ban ïa ‘burom markylliang’.
Namar katta ka khubor Seng Kut Snem 2021 ka long ban buh ïa ka mat ban “burom mar kylliang” kum ka thong ha ka jingim ka jongngi kaba man la ka sngi. Ka burom mar kylliang ka dei ban long ha baroh ki liang, la ha ka ïing ka sem, ki para marjan ki marpa, ha kano kano ka kynhun bad lympung kabangi don bad khamtam eh ha ka imlang sahlang baroh. Ngin kynmaw ba ïa ka jaidbynriew la seng nongrim ha ka hok ka shikyntien bad ka kamram jong ngi ka long ban hikai bad pynsngewthuh ïa ki long mynta ïa ka jingjylliew jong ka jingmut jong kine ki kyntien. Ka leh meng lehkhraw kan ym ïalam sha ka jingïabeit hynrei sha ka lynti jong ka jingïapra. Ngi dei ruh ban kiar na kiei kiei ki bym dei hok bad ki bym shong nia.
