The month of "Ïaïong" or April is the fourth month for the Khasis which falls in the season of Spring. In "Ïaïong" there is the falling of rain, accompanied by a rapid cover of darkness brought about by grey clouds with strong wind and sometimes hail too.
There is a saying among the Khasis which prohibits them from getting married or building a house or starting any other work in the month of "Ïaïong". Is the reason because of the sudden dark rainy weather that these prohibitions were uttered or are there any other reasons?
Can it be said that the word "Ïaïong" refers to a time of darkness (Ïong means black) represented by the sudden approach and falling of rain?
We all wonder about Ïaïong don't we? Please tell us what you think of this in the comment section. 🌦️⛈️
