Oo ma wada dhulbahante baa?
If so, then no she hasnt heard of them.
Her mom is Hj/Black aden and is a stronger gene than Dhulbahante, hence she's clueless about your people

Back to the subject, i haven't heard of the Orfa for ages, especially sinds the older generation is dying out.
Xirsi is a typical Mj name.
