SUHI & AFLENG

Suhi Lepcha is most probably from Lingdong or Barfok. He was a boongthing. He was short in height. He is also known to be a good orator/ debator sort of. It is known that the ladies from Lingthem gathered together to debate against him and they always lost. He was very articulate and was probably the first person in Leek to learn Nepali (Nepalis had just started coming in Dzongu) It is said that he used to be a translator/mediator because of his articulation skills in the village. 

Afleng Lepcha, his wife is from Linko, she is a very renowned ‘mun’ She used to be called by people to take care of dead sprits and lead them to the promised land, and in one such visit she happened to come across a small girl child whose mother had passed away giving birth to her (Mika Lepcha’s Mother) She after the last rite decided to take care of the child and brought her to Leek. 
[She later gave the child to Tangdeng Lepcha and his wife (Payelmoo Nikung)] Payelmoo Nikung is from RUHUBONG, SINGHIK.

Since Suhi and Afleng had no children of their own, they had adopted Tangdeng Lepcha.

They had a daughter who got married in Karhyok ( lower lingthem ) her daughter got married in Sakvong ( Chong famtam – Between Phensong and Phodong ) and her daughter got married and is settled in present day Chandey.

They also had an adopted daughter who is in Lingdong. She is married to Rungdokchen. She is almost the age of Mika Lepcha’s real mother. Rungdokchen is no more though and their present day house is slightly above Agya Dubu’s house in Lingdong.
