'''Khel''' is a mongolic word which came maybe with Djingis Khan or the Ephtaliths and is part of [[Pashtun]] tribal name signifying their sub-tribe. |
|||
More precisely, there are several levels of organization: the ''[[Tabar]]'' (tribe) is subdivided into kinship groups each of which is a ''[[Khel]]''. The ''Khel'' in turn is divided into smaller groups (''[[Pllarina]]'' or ''plarganey''), each of which consists of several extended families or ''[[Kahols]]''. [Wardak, 2003, p. 7] "A large tribe often has dozens of sub-tribes whose members may see themselves as belonging to each, some, or all of the sub-tribes in different social situations (co-operative, competitive, confrontational) and identify with each accordingly." [''ibid.'', p. 10] |
