There is no Dir as a clan in that book . The Isaaq divided somalis into dir and daarood , dir been those who came though the sea or immigrants , not your Dir Ibnu Rag Ibnu Zag Hindi one night stand. Don't confuse the two.
Have you even read the book?
In Page 339, the book comments on Somalis in the Chapter 'Les Somalis'. It is clearly stated in it that there are two great ancestors, Dir and Darood, and then goes on to list the sons of these ancestors in this page and the following one. Do you think people are dumb enough not to spot your biased and selective use of a source that is readily available online? The screenshot I posted earlier (pg. 338, not 340) clearly evinces my point.
Your second quote is misleading Curttenden didn't call Isaaq Aydur , if you read the " memoir of western idoor tribes" he state in it that the Daarood call Isaaq , Idoor . The Daarood claimed that shekeh Isxaaq married in to that tribe Idoor . But Curttenden states that Isaaq object to that narrative.
I never stated in my previous post that he called them 'Aydur', I stated that his source also showed the contradictory information Western explorers encountered as to what the origins of the Isaaq are, Dir or Ahlul Bayt. In his work, Cruttenden's Majeerten sources tell him that the 'Idoor' name is derived from a Galla family called Durr (Dir) into which a Sheekh Isxaaq presumably married.
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 pg 64

There simple as that. now when are you going to give up his Tarzan Hindu one night stand mythology?
How can I be offended or give up on something I never believed in? There isn't an oral historical reference to a Hindu Progenitor for Somalis/Samaales nor have any historical explorers who encountered Somalis in the 19th century encountered such a claim in their writings. Hence, why the obsession with arguing that the etymology of 'Somali' comes from a Hindu called 'Zumali'?
By arguing for such an etymology, you do know that you are tarnishing yourself in the process.
I mean you do go around saying you are Somali to non-Somalis, I assume, or do you state that you are an Ahlul Bayt Hashemite whose ancestor assimilated into the 'Zumali' ethnic group by marrying from the Dir clan?
Had you knew what you were talking about you wouldn't aske these silly questions, but you are a little teenager punk a novice ,
Daarood Ismaaciil married a woman called Doonbiro for Dir clan,
Sheekh Isxaaq had 2 wives , one named Xiis and the other was from a Dir clan by the name Magaadle , her name didn't survive the time, 100% of somali clans know their sub-clan founders very well, few ever remember the name of the particular matriarch, but since you are a little wet nosed punk i'd be patient to school you a bit.. In most of the time the clan of these matriarchs sruvive through.. Ba-Dir, Ba Makaahiil, Ba-Gaxarajis, Ba-Haiwye etc, but not their name, for it made no differences.
Now tell me.. what Xiis and Doonbiro.. proves >??? nothing/.
