Khoms of the Aït Ouallal and Aït Ounir — The confederation and its sections

First of the five khmas in Spillmann's table. It brings together two tribes that tradition calls “sisters” and that the officer counts, with the Aït Ouahlim, among the oldest of the confederation. They hardly get on and now fight only in the Draa, where the Aït Ounir of Tinzouline and Ternata oppose the Imsoufa of Fezwata. Together they make up the bulk of the Aït Atta n'Oumalou of the Middle Atlas.
