268 THE GUHAYNA GROUP III. 2. XXXI.

The divisions of the tribe in Kordofan are as follows : A. Um Hammad I . MuKRAYM (Um Keraym) [a) Akariba Nas Farag Um 'Egayli [d) Harbia Dar el Khadim '/) AwLAD Um Gima'a ,, Khayara „ 'Ataalla „ Um Hamda Sururi'a RiSHAYDAT k) B. Um el Hatasha 1. KhawAbir (a) Um Felah {h) GUAYL (c) AwlAd RishdAt {d) HiDAYBA {e) Khawabir el Humr (/) Genabla 2. 'Alayka {a) Abu Kusayer etc.

XXXII The Ma'Akla. The Ma'akla, a smaller and far more sedentary tribe, are counted by the Ma'alia as subject to them; but the two tribes are racially distinct, and in Kordofan the Ma'akla are now independent. Even in Darfur, where their numbers are almost negligible, they are attempting to become so.

The Ma'akla in Kordofan are subdivided as follows : rSAMA'lN 'AbAdIa AmAmir Sheala Um SelmAn BilAl NAs LAziM \ AwlAd Hasabulla DAr WAlid Sherak RibaydAt Na'asna Kelaba KenAkil-[AwlAd Harayz* f Dowra Tarum NAs SellAm AwlAd DAhir ShilaymAt BishAria 'AiAl Shanbul i BishAra KagAbil AwlAd Gima'a „ Abu Hammad Um ZayAda 'Abd el Habib 'Alowna [Gharayr Each of the above sections is theoretically classed as either SamA'in or BishAria and there is an " 'omda" of the Sama'in group and an "'omda'' of the BiSHARfA. But the "'omda'' of each group has many subjects from among the other and no exact dividing line can be drawn.

The Ma'alia would include among these the Ma'akla, who are not really Ma'alia at all.

2 There are none of these in Kordofan. At the end of the " Ttirkia" they were one of the most powerful tribes in Darfur (see Slatin, passim).
