Dr. Vum Ko Hau na 1963 kum in laibu khat at aa, a laibu min sia “Profile of a Burma Frontier Man” hi. Tua laibu sia, American University pawl khat te ii library ah ki koi aa, Asia taw kisai pilna sin te ii etkaak, simkaak tu laibu in akizangh laibu khat ahi hi. Sizang sung bek hi ngawl in Zo mi bup sung zong ah laibu manh nei a at masabel zong hi tu ka um hi. Tua laibu sung ah Dr. Vum Ko Hau na ama in taangthu, a pu a pa te ii taangthu le ama ii nasepna taw kisai cing dildel in na at hi. Thu masa a at Kawl ngam president lui Dr. Maung Maung na “. . . in writing the book the author has done much more than fulfill the wish of his late father; he has given us a gift we can treasure and enjoy.” “ …laibu atpa in hong nusia zo ahi a pa (Sya Za Khup) ii a tup, a uk theampo sang in nasia zaw in a seam zo zaw hi. Ama (laibu atpa) in ei theampo atu na manh pha mama le, a sim nop huai mama laibu khat hong nusiat ahi hi.” Dr. Vum Ko Hau ii laibu sungah “Thuantak” ci kammal 25 vei ki mu thei aa, “Suantak” ci kammal 5 vei ki mu hi. “Thuantak (Suantak)” ci in mun 4 ah zangh hi. Pawl khat en ki tawng. Page 211 na ah “Thauntak” ci in ki at aa, press te in spelling khial hi tu ka um hi.

All those who claim to be Siyins are relatives. They have a single progenitor in Thuantak (Suantak) who founded the first settlement in the Siyin Valley. Suantak’s brothers are the descendants of the same Zo Mi people who founded settlements further north. The other elder brothers were Tohin and Seaktak. Their father was Zahong who was the youngest son of Sungmang. [Page 22]

Kamphenna; Sizang akici theampo meal heak hi siat hi.Amate ii Pupi bel sia Thuantak (Suantak) hi aa, Sizang kual sungah khua a saat masaphitpa ahi hi. Suantak ii suapuite in sak sang zaw ah khua saat Zo mi nam te ii Pu le Pa te taw unau ahi uh hi.

“The Siyins say that they never raided in Burma before the time when Kanhow was Chief of the Kanhows and No Man (Ngo Mang) was Chief of the Twantaks (Thuantak).” [Page 191]

Kamphenna: Sizang te in Kam Hau ii hausa suakma le, Ngo Mang in Thuantak suan te ii hausa suakma dong Kawl te ka sim ngei bua uh ci hi.

“We have called ourselves Zo Mi (Zo Man) from time immemorial. Mi means MAN. Cimnuai near Saizang and Thuantak near Khuasak are still rememberd as the first settlements of the Zo Mi people.” [Page 211]

Kamphenna: Ka tepte thei tawp hun sung en kik in hi leang koma le koma Zo Mi ka ki naa uh hi. Mi ci ciang minam cina ahihi. Saizang kiim pan Cimnuai te le, Khuasak kiim pan Thuantak te sia, Zo Mi khua saat masabel pu le pa te ci in ka ciamte uh hi.

“According to the Siyin priests and Siyin clan families Nge Ngu, Vanglok and Daitong had four brothers. Their father was Thauntak who had two other brothers Tohin and Seaktak. Thuantak was the youngest and heir.” [Page 211]

Kamphenna: Sizang thiampi te ii son bang ahile, Nge Ngu, Vanlok le Daitong Sizang innkuan te in suapui pa 4 a nei uh hi. Amate ii pa sia Thauntak (Thuantak) hi aa, Tohin le Seaktak aki ci suapui 2 nei hi. Thuantak sia unau sung a no bel inn lua ahi hi.

“The majority of the descendants of THUANTAK had lived without break mainly in the Siyin Valley for 17 generations and this fact naturally enabled one to remember one’s relatives and genealogical tree quite easily.” [Page 213]

Kamphenna: THUANTAK ii suan le paal atam zaw in, kikhen kakoai ngawl in Sizang kual sungah khang 17 dong teang uh hi. Tua hu in, khat le khat ki meal heakna le ki naina khang thu ol tak in a ciamte zo uh hi.

“THUANTAK was the main progenitor of the, Siyin Clan still inhabiting the Siyin Valley. The locality of the small town first founded by Pu Thuantak is still known as Thuantak. It lies in the eastern part of the Siyin Valley and in the Khuasak tribal area. He was the youngest son of Pu Zahong. He had three sons, Tohin, Seaktak and Thuantak. The descendants of Tohin and Seaktak migrated to the northern Chin Hills; they remember Thuantak as Suantak, the accent of the Zo dialect becoming slightly different as one moves further from place to place.” (Page 216)

Kamphenna; Sizang kual ah a teang Sizang suan te ii Pupi sia THUANTAK hi. Pu Thuantak ii saat masakbel khua mun sia tudong ma Thuatak ki ci lai hi. Sizang kual ii nisua na sang Khuasak khua nai ah om hi. Amasia Pu Zahong ii tapa nobel hi. Ama (Pu Zahong) na tapa 3 nei aa, Tohin, Seaktak le Thuantak hi.
