Somali clan is a mix of family and tol (sewn together)...maybe per subclan as families but even this is not pure I will give you example for hassan dahir from cayr HG
Met a guy who has no tribal connections with him and was one of his big supporters on online and in real life...so defo he knows closely about the man
I was shocked when he told me that hes ajuran and not HG!
Years later when he got arrested, I have heard there was among the HG odayaal who was lobbying for his release, an abgaal section called sadex geedi!
Apparently sadex geedi are one of the ajuraan affiliated clans like the silcis who have been incorporated by gorgaarte after their defeat...so theres an cayr sedex geedi section and another abgaal section.....one of them with the name aways works in villa abgaal to the point he was keeping in check the former bbc boss Yf.gd when he was appointed as garguurtes media adviser, thats wht you dont see them together publically..
bughyat al amal fi tarikh al somal(1954) mentions hassan dahirs sadex geedi jufo within cayr!

I can't speak for the north/rest but I'm the south I know well it's history....hiraab r New comers for us...from coastal mudug/galgaduud (17 century)
Coastal banadir and shabelle region belong to alot of disappeared and existing clans so when hiraab arrived they tried to give them their hawiye identity
We have been in xamar before hiraab and murursade bc we were connected via afgooye/shabelle river as two dynasties; coastal muzafar banadir dynasty and the ajuran shabelle dynasty
If you read this book you will see alot of lost hawadle bubclans such as the dhabarwayne who hail directly from my cabdi yusuf jufo, lost cabdalle preachers and reer ugaas
Imam title is knew to hiraab...this is when abgaals conquered shangani and appointed themselves as imams but the real inheritors of ajuran were the galadi from warsheekh to kismayo appointed by the sultan of zanzibar
Habar ceeno of murursade have been there before abgaal, they entered xamarwayne for commerce
I think clan and land have relations...put somalia in 4 directions and you will notice this!
NW, NE, SE and SW! Atleast before the 18 century!
So I'm samaale not hawiye but bc of the land I share common intrests with them against the new invaders!

I'm part somali and I'm also an Hadere so I ain't a habesha.
