SUHI & AFLENG

July 09, 2017

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.
