Founding lineages of the Chenglei clan
Among the four brothers, Nungou Yumthangba is recognized as the originator of the primary branch of the Chenglei (Sarang Leishangthem) clan.[4][2]
According to the Leithak Leikharol[5], Pudin, and Leishangthemlon, Nungou Yumthangba's older brother, Lamlekshang, relocated to the hills and made his home there.[6][2] His lineage eventually evolved into the Songbu Kabui tribes, who currently reside in the southwestern hills of present-day Manipur.[2]
Thengkoiba (Lokpa) started the Haorok-Konthou lineage.[7]
