Memoir on the Western or Edoor Tribes, Inhabiting the Somali Coast of N.-E. Africa, with the Southern Branches of the Family of Darrood

 I have made use of the word Edoor to distinguish the descendants of Isaakh from those of his fellow-countryman Darrood, but it may be as well to observe that the western tribes are averse to the appellation, and invariably correct the person who styles them Edoor, by telling him that the Edoor are the Galla tribes. The Mijjertain told me that the Galla family into which Sheikh Isaakh married was called " Durr,"(Dir Misspelled) and from that is derived the namc of "Edoor ;" and the Haber Gerhajis, on the other hand, retaliate by quoting " Darrood " as an offshoot from the same Pagan source.
