The forgotten Albanian tribes of Barash, Kolmen, Zhera, Bataq and Hdi (Hadi) in 1880

In the newspaper “Отаџбина” (Homeland), dated 1880-01-01, we can find a Serbian travelogue mentioning a few Arnaut (Albanian) tribes that may have been forgotten: Barash, Kolmen, Zhera, Bataq, Hdi (Hadi?)

On page 549:

“Said told me that among our Arnauts there are seven fis or tribes. These fis are called: Sopa, Krasnić, Baraš, Kolmen, Zhera, Batač, and Hdi. I have written them here and accented them exactly as Said pronounced them to me.”
