The whole thing is called gabay but gabay breaks into several categories based on the structure and its format.
Maanso is one of the children of gabay the other being jiifto.
Songs are gabay too.
Then you have geerar and buranbuur.
Good example of geerar is Abdillahi Suldaan Tima Adde's kana siib kana sar. It's structure is different to gabay/maanso. Himself he says for sometime now he hasn't touched maanso aka masafo. He equally explains the rules of maanso namely habdhac iyo xaraf la raaco (kala qabsigu lee yahay iyo subuxda dhadheere). So maanso is based on two rules.
