Rave been merged into larger branches : in times of stress large bodies of
the Qashqal have gone over to the Bakhtiari country, o^ in a less* degree,
to the Khamseh tribes, and become identified with those tribes. Severity
on the part of the llkhdnis, or partisan jealousies in the ‘tireh* itself, are
often the cause of secessions. On the other hand' many of the < ‘tirehs r are
to-day composed of elements, in which little of the original Qashqa! stock
can be traced, and much new blood has been imported. Thus the present
leading family of the Kashkuli clan came from the Zend tribe, originating,
from near Kirmanshah. The Pars tribe called Bulvardi, “ Ai'ab ” tribes
like the Nafr, and Kuhgalu Lurs are to be found scattered amongst and
incorporated in the Oashqai. Peasantry from a certain district will attach
themselves to the clan frequenting the district, and small sedentary tribes
are taken under the patronage of the Clashqai.
The original 44 f tirehs ^ have therefore increased, but it is difficult to get
an accurate list of all. A list of 57 clans is given by the Fdrsndmeh (His
tory or Pars) written over 30 years ago. In J anuary 1911 Saulat-ud-Dauleh,
Ilkhdni, gave Mr. Chick at list of 47 nomad, or partly nomad clans.
The lists compiled in 1875 under Colonel Boss, and mentioned in 1890
by Lord Curzon, in his book, give comparatively few names, and there is
much diversity of spelling.
Sedentary Tribes.—T \xq whole tribe is not migratory ; many sections such
as the Abulvardi (partially nomadic), Surkhi, Ikdir and Kurdshuli, are
villagers, moving sometimes into tents in the summer, but never leaving
the vicinity of their lands. The non-nomads have largely lost their tribal
organization, and are simply known as “ tajik ” or peasantry. But some,
such as the Surkhi and Kuhmarreh tribes, maintain a vigorous existence,
and rival the nomadic tribes in the art of brigandage. The principal se
dentary tribes are as follows :—
