KK1-1014 - Lamu hka a lam (History of the Lamu river) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) I would like to share about the Lamu Hka which flows around Ja Hta village. In the past, there was a natural mountain torrent surrounding the village. The source of the mountain torrent was unknown because there were many confluences of other streams. Then, the chief of Nrawng Bum and the chief of Saulang Bum were talking about the torrent. The chief of Nrawng Bum said, "We don't know where this water flows from. What shall we name it? There are many tributaries, but we don't know the name of this river." He continued, "This is a big river and many tributaries are flowing into it. However, we can't identify the exact starting point of this water. Shall we name it 'Nmu Hka'?" ('N mu' means 'can't see' in Jinghpaw language.) The chief of Saulang Bum asked him, "Why do you want to name it 'Nmu Hka'?" The chief of Nrawng Bum explained, "We don't know the origin of this river, even to this day. This is such a big river. Also, there are many tributaries. But we don't know where the start of this river. Therefore, as the settlers of this village, we should name it 'Nmu Hka'. Let's name it Nmu Hka." During the time of our ancestors, they called it Nmu Hka. However, over time, the name has changed, and now we call it Lamu Hka. This big river is useful for all. It flows into the Mali Hka from Mali Yang. Since the origin of this river remains undiscoverable, our ancestors named it Nmu Hka which has now changed into Lamu Hka.

### 英译中译述（丽塔·森·迈（Rita Seng Mai）译述）
我将为大家讲述环绕Ja Hta村的Lamu Hka河。往昔，村周环绕着一道天然山溪。因有多条溪流在此交汇，该山溪的源头无从知晓。彼时，Nrawng Bum酋长与Saulang Bum酋长正谈及此溪。Nrawng Bum酋长言道："我们不知道这水从何而来，该如何为它命名？这里有诸多支流，却不知这条河的本名。"其续道："这是一条大河，诸多支流汇入其中，然我们无法确定此水流的确切起点。不如将其命名为‘Nmu Hka’？（景颇语（Jinghpaw）中，‘N mu’意为‘看不见’。）"Saulang Bum酋长问道："你为何欲以‘Nmu Hka’命名此河？"Nrawng Bum酋长解释道："时至今日，我们仍不知此河源头。此河如此宽阔，又有诸多支流汇入，却依旧不知其起始之处。故此，作为此村之定居者，我们当以‘Nmu Hka’命名之，就叫Nmu Hka吧。"先祖之时，人们便称其为Nmu Hka。然随时间流逝，名称生变，今我们称之为Lamu Hka。此大河裨益四方，其自Mali Yang汇入Mali Hka。因该河源头始终未得探明，先祖将其命名为Nmu Hka，而今此名已演变为Lamu Hka。
