292 THE NATIVE MANUSCRIPTS iv.ds.

husband Hammad was a Sherifi (descendant of the Prophet) and it is more

likely the Tabakdt is correct also on this point. Jackson speaks of Hagti's kubba being at el 'Azaza (some 15 miles north-west of Sennar and ten miles south of a well and village shown on the map as "Hagu Abu Garn"), and "Um Mawakih is presumably thereabouts. According to Jackson's Tree Hagu had four sons, Sheikh el Tom, Haggar, 'Abd el Kadir and Tai el Din.

108. "£■/ Mdidi" {\^J^^\) is now generally pronounced " el Magdi. " There is a village called "Wad el Magdi" a few miles south of el Kamlin: cp. No. 200.

109. "El 'Amri" i.e. one of the 'Awamra. "£■/ Kdmnifi" (for which cp. ABC, vi) is the old, and more correct, form of "el Kamlin " : cp. Poncet (p. 17), who speaks of " Camin " in 1709, and Tremaux (vol. 11, p. 71), who in 1862 calls it " Kamnyn." The word is connected with '' kamna" an ambuscade, the root being ,jx>.^ [to hide oneself] : the site is so called because it lies very low and is invisible from a distance.

"£■/ Koz " is probably the place of that name west of Shendi [maps, "elGoz""].

111. Cp. No. 159. "£■/ Batrdn" means "petulant" or "insolent." His kubba is near Sabil in Sennar Province.

" Sannat el Wada'a" is also mentioned in No. 136. El Humr is near Sennar.

112. " ^Abd el BdkV is 'Abd el Baki el Zurkani, for whom see note on AB, Lxxxix and BA, xlviii.

113. " Bddiri," i.e. one of the Buadira. This man is great-grandfather of No. 231 who died about 11 17 (a.h.), i.e. 1705 A.D., and the two were buried at the same place (assuming el Gebel

to be the same as el Gebayl). "£/ Gebayl" is Gebayl Um 'Ali near Kabushia in Shendi district.

The 'Omarab, who include the well-known religious family of the AwLAD 'Abd el Magid, are descended from and named after 'Omar, the father of No. 113. They are reckoned Ga'aliin, but on the mother's side claim to be Ashraf owing to "Abu el 'Asa " having married a daughter of the Sherif Hammad Abu Denana {q.v. in No. 141, note). See also ABC, XIII.

114. One of the Ghubush of Berber.

115. " El Mashayrifi" i.e. a Mahassi (cp. sub No. 124). He is evidently connected with Tree 11 (note his tribe and place of burial). Abu Nagila is at Khartoum North, opposite Tuti Island.

117. Evidently some connection of No. 93 (q.v. note).

119. " Take advantage of. . .": for the Arabic see Appendix 19. 121. In No. 191 this man is called "The holy-man of Sharau." 123. A contemporary of the author: see No. 194 and note to D i.cxxv.

For "el Magdhub" see note to No. 61. This man is mentioned in Jackson (p. 64) and in No. 15, supra: in the

latter he is spoken of as "el Rihaywabi of Abharaz" [i.e. Abu Haraz] : i.e. he was a Ga'ali.
