Another interesting monument is a stone dated 22.2.1946. This states in Angami that the Khamima (Kavema ?) and Makphuma (Makuma ?) Khels have now made peace and have decided to merge themselves into a single new Khel named Khami makum. A list of elders is engraved together with the donors of the three mithan with which the fact was solemnised. (10)
