Help me understand Reer Cayr

[James Dahl]

So as far as I understand it Cayr is Maxamed Madarkicis and the eldest son of Madarkicis Hiraab. How did he get the nickname Cayr?
The Ugaas of Cayr is from the Reer Caalin? Is that the senior line?
How do the subclans descend from Maxamed Madarkicis?
Who led Cayr when the Ajuuraan were overthrown?
What subclan do Xasan Dahir Aweys and the famous singer Magool come from?

Thank you for listening to my questions.

- an ceyr habargidir freind of mine informed me of a story that the guy named 'cayr" got his name when, madarkicis hiraab passed away, cayr distributed his fathers inheritance amongst his brothers, so siciid took the women, saleebaan took the livestock, and saruur the rest. when cayr was asked what he will take since nothing was left, he said he will take some of everyone, hence the name 'cayr' being some sort of welfare.

- yes, ugaaska cayr is from reer caalin

- i dont know

- cayr was part of the hiraab alliance which defeated ajuraan all the way from hobyo, to mogadishu's hinterland.

- xassan daahir is ayaanle cayr. indhacade is habar eji. as for magool, im not sure.

Abakar, I heard Magool was Sacad.
But Samatar is Cayr.

The two greatest singers of Somalia.

well yes magool and samatar are both habargidir, as for which sub clan i dont' know. anyway, i've been meaning to ask you, since you seem to be more tolerant and sensible than others here, what do you think of the hawiye tribe on a social level and on a political level?
