.The stranger is at once struck with the magnitude of the
burial-ground at Meyet, which extends for fully a mile each
way. Attachment to the memory of their forefather Isaakh
yet induces many aged men of the western tribes to pass the
close of their lives at Meyet, in order that their tombs may
be found near that of their chief, and this will account for the
unusual size of this cemetery. Many of the graves have
head-stones of madrepore, on which is cut in relief the name of
the tenant below, and of these many are to be found -250 years
old.
In my notice of the western tribes, 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 ap-
pellation, and invariably correct the person who styles them
Edoor, by telling him that the Edoor are the Galla tribes.
The Mijjerthaine told me that the Galla family into which
Sheikh Isaakh married was called " Durr," and from that is
derived the name of "Edoor ;" and the Haber Gerhajis, on
the other hand, retaliate by quoting " Darrood " as an offshoot
from the same Pagan source
Does that look like anything stating a Dir decent? The only "durr" here which is Dir is the tribe sheekh Isxaaq married from, which essentially the same story almost 200 years later.
Isaaq nasab have not changed for 800 years despite the confused among us the likes of The Yusuf and Buur Madoobe and others. In 1848 Isaaq were been buried beside their patriarch for at least 240 years before 1840 , that's at least since the1600s.
