really? hmmm. well, these are europeans, so who did they get this info from is the question
Maybe an Oromo who wasn’t familiar with the clan structure? And it’s known that there are 5sons of Barento, not 6.
It doesn’t include the Dhumuga/Xamuuga that the Arsi hail from. Ittu people will tell you they are from Marawa.
I forget the name of the book, but Prof. Mohammed Hassan has work on the Oromo clans, and it shows the info I’ve provided.
I’m very familiar with the Bareentuma clan structure and have been studying it for sometime now.
Watch the below clip in regards to Marawa/Ittu info.
