Abkoow you are my real 4th cousin disclosed by genetic testing---not even oral history or "waa la yiri."
You are also as well the real 4th cousin of Murax disclosed by the same.
Now Murax is Rer Ali Hussein of Marehan while I am Rer Diini of Marehan.
Murax is also fully Rer Gedo born while I am fully Rer Mudug born.
In other words, both of Murax's parents are Marehan born in Gedo as well as his preceeding immediate ancestry while both of my parents are Marehan born in the area between Caabudwaaq to Wardeer/Shilaabo as well as my preceeding immediate ancestry.
These details are important for establishing your relations with either Murax or myself is a relationship that you have with "Marehan," i.e not from say links you might share with either of us through other regions or clans we are individually related to.
It really means you are closely related to a large group of "Marehan" regardless of immediate heritage from any region.
You are a very, very, very close family with "Marehan."
And though we do not share same abtiris or lineage you are more closely blood related to a large body of Marehan than you are probably to many "Abgaal" let alone "Mudulood" nevermind "Hawiye."
Abkoow, ma ninka dhiigiisa cabaa tahay?
It is time to renounce "Unukaa"-ism.
