26S An account of Upper and Lower Suwat. [No. 3, 



are again subdivided into two smaller ones. The icucJiah was given 

 to the Ba'i-zi division, and the lunwdah to the Kbwado-zi divi- 

 sion. These two divisions again branch out into several clans or 

 kliels. Thus from Tiitakan to Tarmah, are the Earrnizis, who 

 also hold a few villages under the low hills south of the mountain 

 range of which mount Malakand forms a portion, such as Tsana-kott, 

 or, as sometimes called, Shah-kott, and Dar-gaey. Their chief town 

 is Allah-ddandd, the residence of Sher-dil Khan, before alluded to. 



From the town of Tarrnah to the village of Man-yar, to the north, 

 are the Solfzfs, who also hold the three large villages of Pala'i, Sher- 

 khana'i, and Zor-mandda'i, mentioned at the commencement of this 

 article, to the south of the Suwat mountains, at the entrance of the 

 Morey Pass, together with the Baz-darah valley, containing ttie 

 villages of Baz-darah-i-Bala or higher, and Baz-darah-i-pa'in, or 

 lower, and the hamlet of Morah. Their chief town is Tarrwah, and 

 Mir iEalam Khan is chief of the Soli-zis. 



From Mannar, in a northerly direction, to Chhar-bagh, are the 

 Babu-zis ; from thence in the same direction are the Maturri-zis, 

 who hold some lands among the hills, and a few small villages ; and 

 thence to Khonah are the whole of the Khazi-khel ; and from Kho- 

 nah to Pf'a, the most northerly village of Upper Suwat, are the 

 Janakis, or Ja.nak-kb.el. 



Crossing into the IdnivdaJi, we find the Khwadozis located as fol- 

 lows. From Brrangolaey to Ramorrah are the Khadak-zis and Aba- 

 zis, who dwell together ; from Ptamorrah to Ouch are the Adin-zis ; 

 from Ouch to Siie-gali are the Shamu-zis ; from Sue-gali to Nun- 

 gali are the Nikbi-khel ; from thence to Landdaey are the Sebjunis 



containing three kiwis ; Chagharzi, Nurzf, and Dowlatzf. 3rd Isa, whence 

 sprung the Isazis, who are subdivided into several kliels. They live in 

 Buner, and are called Buner-wals. 4th Badi, whose descendants are lew, 

 and do not constitute a peculiar khel. 5th Ako, whose descendants are 

 the AKO-zis. Aeo had two wives : 1st Rarrni from whom sprung the Rarrnf- 

 zis. 2nd Grouharah who bore four sons ; 1st Khadak, whence the Khadak- 

 zis, but they are a small community ; 2nd Aba from whom sprung the 

 Aba-zis ; 3rd Bazid (?), whence the BA'i-zfs, who being a numerous tribe, con- 

 tain five other kliels, Ama-khel, Haji-khel (Khazi-khel ?) Mtisa-khel, Babu-zis 

 and Maturri-zis, but they generally go by the name of Ba'i-zis ; 4th Kuwado, 

 whence the Khwado-Zis, who being a numerous sept, comprise seven kliels, Adin- 

 zi, Mali-zi, Shami-zi, Naikbi-khel, Thaibat, and Chuni-i (?). The two latter are 

 sometimes called Thaibat-Chunis ; but these seven kliels go by the name of 

 Khwado-zis. All these Ako-zis reside in Suwat and Panjkorah, between the 

 Samah and Kaslikar.
