"A ponor (from South Slavic) - also known as a swallow hole, Schwalgloch (in Westphalian), sinkhole, Bachschwinde, katavothra (modern Greek καταβόθρα) or gully - is an opening in the surface of the land through which a flowing or standing body of water drains off and continues to flow underground. The ponor is a typical karst phenomenon that occurs in many regions of the world and therefore often occurs in regions whose subsoil consists of limestone. Sink holes that lie in the karst funnels typical of karst areas are called ponordolines." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponor#:~:text=Der%20Ponor%20ist%20eine%20typische,liegen%2C%20werden%20als%20Ponordolinen%20bezeichnet.
