56 THE BALOCH RAGE<br />
a ballad as one of the slave tribes given by Chakar to<br />
Banari, his sister, and set free by her.<br />
Khosa.—A very important tribe forming two distinct<br />
tumans—one near Jacobabad in Upper Sindh, and the<br />
other with its headquarters at Batil, near Dera Ghazi<br />
Khan. Also a sub-tuman of the Kinds of Shoran, and<br />
a clan of the Lunds of Tibbi. Said to be mainly of Hot<br />
descent. The Isani clan of the Dera Ghazi Khan tribe<br />
is of Khetran origin, and the small Jajela clan, probably<br />
aboriginals of the Jaj Valley, which they inhabit.<br />
Kordi.—One of the main original sections ; not now an<br />
organized tuman, but found wherever the Baloches<br />
have spread in the Panjab, principally in Muzafargarh,<br />
Multan, and Dera Isma'Il Khan. Still form a tribe in<br />
Mekran (spelt by some Kaudal).<br />
Lasharl.—One of the main original sections, said to have<br />
settled in Gandava after the war with the Einds, and<br />
to be now represented by the Maghasis of Jhal in<br />
Kachhl. Some Lasharls in Kachhl keep their own<br />
name, and form the largest clan-of the Maghassi tribe.<br />
Others are found in Mekran and Slstan, where they<br />
are identified with the Maghasis. The Jis'tkanls<br />
also are of Lasharl descent. There is a strong subtuman<br />
of Lasharls in the GurchanI tribe, and other<br />
Laeharis of DrigrI in Dera Ghazi Khan are apparently<br />
Jatts, and Lasharls only in name. Lasharls are found<br />
wherever the Baloches settled in the Panjab, chiefly<br />
in Dera Ghazi Khan, Dera Isma'il Khan, Muzafargarh,<br />
and Multan.<br />
Mazarl.—An organized tribe of importance, with its headquarters<br />
at Bojhan, in the south of Dera Ghazi Khans.<br />
The ruling clan, the Balachani, are said to be Hots,<br />
and the remainder of the tribe, with the exception of<br />
the Kirds, Binds. The name is apparently derived<br />
from Mazdr, 'tiger,' like the Pathan ' Mzarai.'<br />
Mlrdli.—Becorded as having fought with the Binds against<br />
the Lasharls. Probably identical with the Mehrall<br />
clan of the Binds of Kachhl ; sometimes identified with<br />
the Buledhi.<br />
Namurdl.—Not now found except as a phalli in the Bozdar<br />
tribe.<br />
Nohy Nuliam.—Not now found. Said to have been on the<br />
side of the Lasharls against the Binds.<br />
Phuzh.—A clan of Binds to which belonged Bijar, one of
