APPENDIX III. 
SECTIONS AND FAMILIES OF THE GREAT SOUTH-WEST- 
ERLY GROUP OF THE TMO'SHAGH OR TAWA^REK. 
As Amoshagh (in the plural form I'moshaghj designates 
rather in the present state of Tawarek society the free and 
noble man in opposition to A'mghi (plural, Imghad), the 
whole of these free and degraded tribes together are better 
designated by the general term, the " red people," Fdinet- 
n-sheggarnen," for which there is another still more general 
term, viz. " Tishoren."

way the name is expressed in Tefinagh) are certainly iden- 
tical with the Lamta (the t being a hard t, which is con- 
tinually confounded with the d), the name signifying pro- 
bably " the children of Lamta," or rather " Limmid ; " or 
the name may originally be an adjective. They dwelt for- 
merly in Igidi near the Welad Delem, a Moorish tribe which 
has received a great many Berber elements, till they emigrated 
to A'derar, the country N.E. of Gogo, from whence, as I 
have stated in the Chronological Tables appended to the 
preceding volume (p. 579.), under the command of Karidenne, 
son of Shwash, or rather Abek, they drove out the Tade-
