Ugaas
Ughaz (sometimes spelled ''Ugass'', ''Ugas'' or ''Ougaz'') is a traditional Somali title. It is primarily used by the Dir and Darod clans. Etymology According to Italian linguist Giorgio Banti, the term ''"Ughaz"'' is of Ethio-Semitic origin. However Djiboutian researcher, Ali Moussa Iye, states that the term ''"Ughaz"'' is composed of the two Somali terms ''"ul"'' and ''"gaas"'' meaning ''"the stick of the warrior’s chief".'' American archeologist, Julien Cooper, labeled ''"gas/gos"'' as a pan-Cushitic kinship root word with various reflexes such as ''"Ughaz"'' in Somali and ''"Gosa"'' in Burji. He later stated that this required further research. History After the downfall of the Adal Sultanate in the sixteenth century, the region descended into turmoil, which led to the establishment of the Ughaz. This figure was endowed with the authority to resolve conflicts among the different Somali clans, in addition to other responsibilities. According to I. M. Lewis, in ...
