The DuBAsifN. Racially connected with the Shukria, though
the details of the relationship are not clear, are the small tribe of DuBASiiN, who live in the northern Gezi'ra.
They are divided as follows
:
TT , i In Kamlin district. Hetaykab J GifaynAb. In Kamlin, Mesallamia and Khartoum districts.
T, , I In Mesallamia district. BiLAYLAB j GebelAb. In Rufa'a district. RaydAb. In Khartoum district. The DubAsiin are said to have split away from the Shukria some
seven or eight generations ago. For the most part they remained nomadic until the present generation—nor are they yet entirely
sedentary—but their wanderings in search of grazing never extended much more than seventy miles or so south of Khartoum^.
In Turkish days they were at feud with the HalAwiin branch of
the Rufa'a.
(e) THE pUBANlA OR DUBAINA* XV The name of this tribe does not occur in the genealogies of the Sudan, a fact which in itself is good evidence that their present claim
to be Arabs is of the slightest, and they would appear to form, from
the racial point of view, a part of the Shangalla congeries peopling
the fertile belt which bounds Abyssinia on the west.
^ Between Sha'a el Dfn and the eponymous ancestor Shakfr or Shukur the names vary in different verbal accounts : e.g. one (that of Ahmad Kayli) gives them from son to father thus : " Sha'a el Dfn, el Tuaym, Um Besha, Gilhayb, Wahshi, Shakfr "
;
another (from the Abu Sin family) gives them thus : " Sha'a el Dfn, el Tuaym, yabashom, Tagir, Sa'ud, Wahshi, Zaydan, Shukur."
^ The curious adoption of the surname "Kayli" by the successive hereditary sheikhs of this section is noted in A 7 (q.v.).
^ They are said to have had " gerf" (foreshore) cultivation at Khartoum before the site was taken by the Turks for building the present town.
* They are called either indiscriminately.
