These are said to be of
the same stock as the
Baharinah, but
they are Sunnia
by religion.
By some they are
bel eved to be an
offshoot of the
Mazazi', but this
is doubtful. They
own about 10 camels
and 150 sheep and
goats ; but they also
cultivate a little,
and some of their
number are semi-
settled.
See article Qawasim.
See article Bani Qitab.
There is also a singu
lar Shahyari. The
Shahairah are con
sidered to be abori
ginal.
The Bani Shamaili
are said to have been
originally Jews
(sic), but now they
are closely connected
with the Shihuh
and may almost be
regarded as a section
of that tribe,
though not included
in either of its 2
main divisions.
They are also
called Shamaliym.
A few of them who
are nomadic are
found among the
Shihuh in the
Ruus-al-Jibal dis
trict of the
Sultanate.
