Sormoh the Tree-Feller

Khasi figure named in the Hynniew Trep tree-felling prose (with Sorphin) as one of the two who cut the sacred tree, severing the golden bridge. Classed mortal. Parentage is contested across versions (some make the pair members of the Seven Huts, others sons of a Syiem named Lakriah), so parentIds is left empty and only the secure twin-sibling edge to Sorphin is recorded.
